People v. McDermott, 05PDJ056. October 12, 2005. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Respondent Richard H. McDermott (Attorney Registration No. 15768) from the practice of law for a period of thirty days, all stayed upon successful completion of a two-year period of probation subject to conditions, effective November 11, 2005. Respondent failed to remain current on court-ordered child support and child­care obligations. Following his immediate suspension, Respondent obtained funds and came into compliance with his child support and child-care obligations. Respondent’s misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5, and violated Colo. RPC 3.4(c) (knowingly disobeyed an obligation under the rules of a tribunal).
