People v. Wheeler, No. 03PDJ080. June 29, 2004. Attorney Regulation. In this reciprocal discipline action from Washington State, the Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ Conditional Admission of Misconduct and publicly censured Respondent Bobby O. Wheeler, attorney registration number 21059. The Washington State Bar Association disciplined Respondent with public censure on September 13, 2002. Respondent filed a frivolous action, requiring the court to handle a matter it should not have had to do. The court issued sanctions against the client. Respondent also failed to attend a hearing, wasting the court’s time. He further failed to obtain a transcript of the hearing for his client, despite repeated requests and to file medical bills when ordered by the court, further delaying the prosecution of the claim. The Respondent violated Colo. RPC 1.3, 1.4(b), and 3.1. He was ordered to pay the costs of the Colorado proceedings.
