NOTICE OF REPRIMAND AND PROBATION Case Nos. 96-107-AI; 96-180-JC David Lee Taylor, P-36094, Lansing, Michigan, by Attorney Discipline Board Ingham County Hearing Panel #3.
1) Reprimand effective December 3, 1996; 2) Probation - two years - effective August 5, 1996. On May 30, 1996, respondent was convicted in the 44th Judicial Circuit Court, Livingston County, Michigan, by a plea of no contest, of Felonious Driving in violation of MCL 752.191. He was sentenced on August 5, 1996. His sentence included two years probation; forty hours community service in an alcohol related field; a driver's license suspension of ninety days, followed by a restricted license; and not less than three months alcohol counselling.
Respondent's motion to set aside automatic suspension, filed prospectively on May 7, 1996, was granted by the Attorney Discipline Board on June 12, 1996, "the Board having determined that such action is consistent with the maintenance of the integrity and honor of the profession, the protection of the public and the interests of justice." Upon the filing of the Judgment of Conviction, the Attorney Discipline Board entered an order directing respondent to show cause why a final order of discipline should not be entered.
Following a hearing on the Order to Show Cause, the panel entered an order of reprimand and probation. The two-year probation was ordered to run concurrently with the probation imposed by the circuit court, subject to the same conditions. Costs were assessed in the amount of $435.21.
