Charles Dwain Oliver, Arkansas Bar No. 2001009 v. Stark Ligon, as Executive Director of the Arkansas Supreme Court…

Summary

The court affirmed the Committee’s denial of Oliver’s petition for reconsideration of his five-year suspension. It held that Oliver’s earlier letter to the Office of Professional Conduct did not qualify as a response to the later formal complaint and that he failed to establish unavoidable circumstances excusing his failure to respond. The court therefore concluded that the Committee’s decision was not clearly erroneous.
