People v. Nahshon Joshua Dart. 18PDJ054. August 23, 2018. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved the parties’ conditional admission of misconduct in this reciprocal discipline matter and publicly censured Nahshon Joshua Dart (attorney registration number 41959), effective August 23, 2018.
On May 31, 2018, the Supreme Court of Wyoming issued an order publicly censuring Dart, having determined that he violated Wyoming RPC 1.3 (lack of diligence), Wyoming RPC 1.4 (lack of communication), and Wyoming RPC 8.4(c) (conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation). The Supreme Court of Wyoming found that Dart neglected to diligently pursue representation of a client in a defamation matter; failed to maintain adequate communication with the client; and failed to inform the client that the court had awarded attorney’s fees against her and had dismissed the case for noncompliance with discovery orders.
Through this conduct, Dart engaged in conduct constituting grounds for discipline under C.R.C.P. 251.21.
