Summaries of Decisions Issued by the Presiding DisciplinaryJudge
People v. Bode, No. 05PDJ013, 07/21/2005. Attorney Suspended.
The Presiding Disciplinary Judge suspended Respondent George A. Bode, attorney registration number 20224, from the practice of law for a period of three years. Suspension is effective August 21, 2005. The Court also ordered respondent to pay the costs incurred in conjunction with these proceedings.
The facts admitted through the entry of default show that the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office suspended respondent for a period of seven years (with four years stayed) on July 28, 2004. The People requested that this Court impose a reciprocal three-year suspension. The Court afforded respondent an opportunity to state his position on sanctions and request a hearing, if he desired, on or before June 21, 2005. Respondent failed to file any response or request a hearing. Accordingly, the Court found reciprocal discipline in the form of a three-year suspension appropriate in this case.
