Discipline Summaries
March 9, 2013 RIC A. MILITELLO [#193675], 43, of San Diego was disbarred March 9, 2013, and was ordered to comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. Militello’s default was entered in 2011 because he failed to respond to a charge that he violated rule 9.20 by not submitting to the State Bar Court a declaration that he had notified his clients, opposing counsel and other interested parties of his suspension. When he did not move to have the default set aside within 180 days, he was disbarred under rule 5.85 of the bar’s Rules of Procedure.In the underlying matter, Militello was suspended and placed on probation in 2011 for commingling, committing acts of moral turpitude by making electronic payments from his client trust account against insufficient funds, and failing to update his official address. He did not participate in that matter, and his default was entered.The charge of violating rule 9.20 is deemed admitted.March 20, 2011 RIC A. MILITELLO [#193675], 40, of San Diego was suspended for one year, stayed, actually suspended for six months and until the State Bar Court terminates the suspension and he was ordered to take the MPRE and comply with rule 9.20 of the California Rules of Court. If the actual suspension exceeds two years, he must prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect March 20, 2011. In a default proceeding, the bar court found that Militello committed three acts of misconduct. He failed to update his address with the bar, commingled funds in his trust account and made electronic payments against insufficient funds. He repeatedly used his account for non-client related purposes - he paid his rent, vet bills and made Verizon payments from the account. Two payments were made against insufficient funds.In mitigation, he had no prior discipline record. |
