Attorney Suspended For Failure To Appear To Be Reprimanded

An attorney was suspended for her failure to appear to receive a public reprimand from the Georgia Supreme Court

Although Goodnight was notified on three separate occasions in accordance with Bar Rule 4-203.1 to appear for the reprimand, she failed to appear at the dates and times specified for the reprimand without submitting a written request to be excused from appearing. Therefore, the Court hereby suspends Goodnight from the practice of law from the date of this opinion until such time as the reprimand is administered. Bar Rule 4-109. Once Goodnight appears for and is administered the reprimand and the State Bar confirms that Goodnight received her reprimand, the State Bar is directed to file a motion in this Court to lift the suspension.
