1) Reprimand; 2) Effective April 15, 1992. The respondent and the Grievance Administrator filed a stipulation for consent order of discipline which was approved by the hearing panel and the Attorney Grievance Commission. Respondent admitted certain allegations contained in the formal complaint.
Respondent was retained to represent a client in a civil lawsuit, but failed to communicate with the court concerning her whereabouts and therefore was unaware of the entry of a judgment on behalf of the counter-plaintiff against her client.
