IN RE: COMMITTEE ON BAR ADMISSIONS CFN-119320 (2024)

Given the continued lack of attention to his income tax obligations, which has exacerbated since he was placed on probation, I would not merely extend the petitioner's probation.¹ Accordingly, I respectfully dissent from the sanction imposed by the majority of this court.

FOOTNOTES

1.   For the four years of 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2016, petitioner owed $12,573 to the IRS in back taxes. The amount due to the IRS in back taxes is now for seven years (2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2021, and 2022) and totals $24,399.32--almost double the amount formerly owed--despite petitioner being on probation and the installment agreement with the IRS (related to the first four years) requiring monthly payments of $300 beginning on June 15, 2023. Probation alone has been ineffective.

WEIMER, C.J., dissenting.
