Discipline Summaries

July 3, 1996

NINA MARIE BARTHOLOMEW [#145655], 37, of Davis was disbarred July 3, 1996, and ordered to comply with rule 955.

Bartholomew failed to comply with an earlier 955 order and she practiced while suspended by the bar.

She originally was suspended in May 1994, four years after her admission to the bar, after filing an appeal in a frivolous lawsuit. She failed to report sanctions of $2,500 and did not cooperate with the bar's investigation.

Three months later, she was suspended for failure to pay bar dues.

Because she did not comply with the probation requirements of the May discipline, her probation was revoked, she was suspended for one year and placed on involuntary inactive status. She also was ordered to comply with rule 955 and notify all courts and clients of her suspension.

During that suspension, she appeared at an in-chambers conference on behalf of a client.

Bartholomew later filed suit against the State Bar, charging that the original discipline against her was based on fraud, and she argued that the bar would be unjustly enriched by payments of the fees and disciplinary costs owed. She did not appear at a hearing in her case, and the State Bar prevailed.

Bartholomew had not complied with rule 955 at the time of her disbarment. "She has not participated in any of the State Bar disciplinary proceedings filed against her," the court wrote, "has failed to comply with rule 955, has practiced law while suspended and while an inactive member, and has otherwise paid little heed to numerous efforts by the organized bar and the bench to conform her conduct to the norms of the profession."
