1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hobbs
T1 In this appeal, Attorney Regulation Counsel challenges the Hearing Board's order1 reinstating Michael T. Miranda to the practice of law.2 Miranda is currently serving the mandatory parole portion of his felony criminal sentence. The Hearing Board nevertheless determined that he is fit to practice law and reinstated him to practice. We disagree. Pursuant to section 18-1.83-401(8), C.R.S. (2012), and C.R.C.P. 251.29, we hold that Miranda cannot be reinstated to practice law until he has completed his felony sentence. Accordingly, we reverse the Hearing Board's order.
