Supreme Court of Georgia

In the Matter of David Wesler Fry

March 30, 2017

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia rejected David Wesler Fry’s petition to resign his Bar membership and dismiss the disciplinary case, holding that an Alford plea constitutes a felony conviction under Rule 8.4(a)(2) and that Georgia’s Bar Rules do not permit resignation to avoid pending disciplinary proceedings; the matter was remanded for further action.
