Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Ass'n v. Gottehrer

{¶ 1} Respondent, Blaine L. Gottehrer of Cleveland, Ohio, Attorney Registration No. 0027147, was admitted to the practice of law in Ohio in November 1980. In December 2008, relator, Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association, filed a complaint charging respondent with violations of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct and the Supreme Court Rules for the Government of the Bar. Although the complaint was served upon respondent by certified mail at his office address on December 10, 2008, he failed to file an answer. Therefore, in June 2009, relator moved for default pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V(6)(F).
