In the Disciplinary Matter Involving Attorney Gayle Brown

Summary

The court approved a consent-discipline stipulation based on Brown’s admitted pattern of neglect, missed deadlines, inadequate client communication, and failure to advance two post-conviction matters. Applying its independent judgment to the sanction, the court concluded that a three-year-and-one-day suspension, with one year stayed and subject to supervision and other conditions, was appropriate. Brown must serve two years and one day before seeking reinstatement and must pay disciplinary costs.
