People v. Carroll. 13PDJ034. September 18, 2013. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended David Sean Carroll (Attorney Registration Number 12746) from the practice of law for one year and one day, effective October 23, 2013. In a case before the Court of Appeals, Carroll submitted written briefs that lacked structure, failed to present coherent arguments in support of his legal theories, and inadequately supported factual recitations with appropriate record citations. Finding Carroll’s briefs unpersuasive and unprofessional, the Court of Appeals struck them and sanctioned him. Carroll’s petition for writ of certiorari to the Colorado Supreme Court suffered from the same infirmities. Carroll’s presentation of these appellate papers was incompetent, thereby violating Colo. RPC 1.1, and his misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5.
