In the Matter of Ashutosh S. Joshi

Summary

The Court rejected Joshi’s petition for voluntary discipline because it addressed only a comparatively minor admitted violation while leaving substantially more serious allegations in the formal complaint unresolved. The Court remanded for determination of whether Joshi knowingly contacted a represented person, misrepresented his status to jail personnel, and threatened the cooperating witness, and whether that conduct warrants discipline. The Court expressly did not decide the merits of those unresolved allegations.
