Supreme Court of Puerto Rico
In re Víctor Gómez Morales, querellado
June 23, 1989124 P.R. Dec. 383
Summary
The Supreme Court of Puerto Rico addressed the Attorney General’s petition to disbar attorney‑notary Víctor Gómez Morales after his conviction for a controlled‑substance possession offense. The Court held that possession alone does not meet the statutory definition of moral depravity required for automatic disbarment, but imposed a temporary suspension and ordered a competency hearing under Rule 13.1 of the Supreme Court Rules. The decision distinguishes the case from In re Santiago Casanova, which involved drug distribution.
