State Ex Rel. Counsel for Discipline v. Gilroy

NATURE OF CASE

The office of the Counsel for Discipline of the Nebraska Supreme Court, as relator, filed formal charges against respondent, John M. Gilroy, who was admitted to the practice of law in the State of Nebraska on April 21, 1977. After respondent failed to file an answer to these charges, this court sustained the Counsel for Discipline’s motion for judgment on the pleadings and limited briefs and arguments to the appropriate sanction. On April 8, 2005, this court suspended respondent from the practice of law on an unrelated matter. We must now determine the appropriate sanction.
