Arizona Supreme Court

In the Matter of the Application of Alejandro Lazcano, Applicant

January 8, 2010223 Ariz. 280

Summary

The court denied Lazcano's application for admission to the Arizona Bar because his Texas felony deferred adjudication remained active and under court supervision. It treated his no-contest plea as a felony conviction for admission purposes and held that an applicant on felony deferred adjudication cannot demonstrate the complete rehabilitation and present good moral character required for admission until supervision ends. The opinion had no separate writings.
