IN RE: DISCIPLINE OF SCOTT MICHAEL CANTOR, BAR NO. 1713.
ORDER OF DISBARMENT
The Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board has filed, under SCR 112, a petition for attorney Scott Michael Cantor's disbarment by consent. SCR 112 provides that an attorney who is the subject of a proceeding involving allegations of misconduct may consent to disbarment by delivering an affidavit to bar counsel, who must file it with this court.
Cantor's affidavit meets the requirements of SCR 112(1). In particular, Cantor's affidavit states that he freely and voluntarily consents to disbarment, after having had the opportunity to consult with counsel. Cantor acknowledges that the State Bar is investigating allegations that he violated RPC 1.3 (diligence), RPC 1.15 (safekeeping property), RPC 3.4(c) (fairness to opposing party and counsel), RPC 8.1 (a), (b) (disciplinary matters), and RPC 8.4(b)-(d) (misconduct). He further acknowledges that the material facts supporting those RPC violations are true and states that he could not successfully defend against those charges.
Accordingly, we grant, the petition and disbar Scott Michael Cantor. Such disbarment is irrevocable. SCR 102(1). The parties shall comply with SCR 115 and SCR 121.1.
It is so ORDERED.
