Description
On January 29 and 30, 1981, a panel of the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys held a hearing on a complaint against respondent James R. Martin, a member of the bar of this state, who formerly practiced in Osborne County. The panel filed its report with findings and recommendations on August 12, 1981. The matter is now before this court pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 212 (228 Kan. xcv-xcvi). The formal complaint filed by the disciplinary administrator alleged in substance that Martin had neglected a legal matter entrusted to him to the detriment of his client, Dwight Peterson. A judgment for $19,842.12 had been entered against his client without Martin or Mr. Peterson being present at the trial. It was further alleged that sworn testimony was offered by Martin in court which testimony he knew to be false; that he advised his client Peterson to ignore a subpoena; and that Martin appeared in court in Nebraska on the same day he was scheduled to appear for trial in Kansas, after falsely advising the trial judge he was too ill to appear in court in Smith Center, Kansas.
