Description
The Utah State Bar ("the Bar") appeals from a district court order rejecting the Bar's request for the disbarment of Paul R. Ince. In its findings of fact, the district court determined that Ince had committed not less than nineteen major acts of misconduct over a fifteen-month period, including misappropriating law firm and client funds for his own use and benefit, forging documents to conceal an illegal transfer of pension funds, and failing to disclose his misconduct to a subsequent employer. Despite finding that the generally appropriate level of discipline fixed by the Standards for Imposing Lawyer Sanctions was disbarment, the court concluded that mitigating factors weighed in favor of suspension. The court then suspended Ince for fifteen months, to be followed by twenty-four months of supervised probation. The Bar appeals, arguing that Ince should be disbarred. We agree and therefore reverse.
