Summary

The court upheld the referee’s finding that Igbanugo violated professional-conduct rules by filing a frivolous federal lawsuit intended to harass, burden, and intimidate opposing attorneys. It declined to address the alleged violation of Rule 4.4(a), but confirmed violations of Rules 3.1 and 8.4(d). The court imposed an additional indefinite suspension with no right to seek reinstatement for 12 months, along with reinstatement conditions and costs.
