Discipline Notice:
Description: Brian Easton (WSBA Number 12629, admitted November 1982) was ordered suspended from the practice of law for 60 days effective September 29, 1998 by order of the Washington State Supreme Court.
The discipline imposed was reciprocal to Easton’s suspension in the State of Alaska by order of the Supreme Court of the State of Alaska dated May 22, 1997. Easton’s suspension was based on his noncompliance with the terms of probation ordered by the Supreme Court of the State of Alaska in earlier disciplinary proceedings. Those proceedings were based on Easton’s failure to answer a grievance filed against him and failure to respond to bar counsel.
Easton did not respond to the Washington State Supreme Court’s order issued pursuant to Rule 12.6 of the Rules for Lawyer Discipline, which directed him to inform the court of any claim that the imposition of identical discipline in this state would be unwarranted and, if so, the reasons therefor. Disciplinary Counsel Felice P. Congalton represented the Bar Association.
