Description
ORDER The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Jill Johnson Pennington has been disbarred from the practice of law in Maryland for neglect of a client matter resulting in a missed statute of limitations and attempting to cover up the neglect by using own funds to settle underlying lawsuit and representing that the settlement funds came from the defendant. The petition requests that this court impose reciprocal discipline under Rule 12(d), Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR). The Director and respondent have entered into a stipulation in which respondent admits that the Maryland disbarrment decision conclusively establishes the misconduct and the parties jointly recommend that the appropriate reciprocal discipline is a two-year suspension rather than disbarrment.
