Sibley reapplied and submitted his application to Justice Thomas in December. The Court met on it this week, but, sadly for Mr. Sibley, they chose to deny his application for a stay. This information appeared on the USSC website late 1/22/09.

Why did Florida only suspend him for 3 years? Worse, the DC Appellate opinion agrees with Florida, saying that a 3 year suspension is “within the range of sanctions…for such conduct”!!! What does it take to be permanently disbarred? I said it before and I’ll say it again…attorney “discipline” in this country is a joke. What is the point of having dozens of ethic requirements if they are not enforced? Steal money from your client? No problem – we’ll just slap you on the wrist and you can be on your way. Lie to your client, opposing counsel, and the court? WooHoo! Here is your slap on the wrist. No wonder people have low opinions of attorneys.
