In Re: Discipline Of Michael H. Hamilton ( 2022 )

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
IN THE MATTER OF MICHAEL H. No. 85027
HAMILTON, BAR NO. 7730.
ORDER OF DISBARMENT
The Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board has filed, under SCR
112, a petition for attorney Michael H. Hamilton's disbarment by consent.
The petition is supported by Hamilton's affidavit, stating that he freely and
voluntarily consents to disbarment, after having had the opportunity to
consult with counsel. Hamilton acknowledges in the affidavit that he has
not complied with the orders entered in three prior disciplinary proceedings:
In re Discipline of Hamilton, No. 81256, 2020 WL 5512516 (Nev. Sept. 11,
2020) (Order Approving Conditional Guilty Plea Agreement) (suspending
attorney for four years to run concurrently with suspensions imposed in two
other cases); In re Discipline of Hamilton, No. 80556, 2020 WL 2319994(Nev. May 8, 2020) (Order of Suspension) (imposing previously stayed 42-
month suspension based on attorney's failure to comply with conditions on
stayed portion of the suspension); In re Discipline of Hamilton, No. 78101,
2019 WL 2140630 (Nev. May 14, 2019) (Order Approving Conditional Guilty
Plea) (suspending attorney for four years with 42 months of the suspension
stayed subject to certain conditions). And he admits that he could not
successfully defend against a disciplinary complaint based on his failure to
comply with the prior disciplinary orders.
SUPREME COURT
OF
NEVADA
(0) I947A •
SCR 112 provides that an attorney who is the subject of a
proceeding involving allegations of misconduct may consent to disbarment
by delivering an affidavit to bar counsel, who must file it with this court.
Hamilton's affidavit meets the requirements of SCR 112(1), and we
conclude that the petition should be granted. Accordingly, Hamilton is
disbarred. The provisions of SCR 115 and SCR 121.1 governing notice and
publication of orders of disbarment shall apply to this order.
It is so ORDERED.
