In re Petition for Disciplinary Action against R. James Jensen, Jr., a Minnesota Attorney, Registration No. 0164409. ...

Summary

The court imposed reciprocal disbarment after treating the foreign tribunal's misconduct findings as conclusive and rejecting the attorney's challenges to the fairness of the foreign proceedings, the delay, changed circumstances, and the asserted absence of client representation. It concluded that disbarment was not unjust or substantially different from discipline warranted in Minnesota because the misconduct involved repeated disobedience of court orders, dishonesty, frivolous litigation, and an aggravating disciplinary history. The court also imposed costs and conditions on reinstatement.
