SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA NO. 98-B-2819 IN RE: DARYL GOLD ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS

PER CURIAM*

This attorney disciplinary proceeding arises from three consolidated sets of formal charges involving a total of seven counts of misconduct instituted by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel ("ODC") against respondent, Daryl Gold, an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Louisiana.1

UNDERLYING FACTS 96-DB-039 These charges arise from respondent's representation of Gerald Kennedy, a criminal inmate. Mr. Kennedy paid a $10,000 fee to respondent to represent him in connection with a parole matter. Respondent "guaranteed" that Mr. Kennedy would be granted parole. However, according to Mr. Kennedy, respondent failed to attend a parole hearing on his behalf or to request a continuance. After Mr. Kennedy filed a complaint with the ODC in 1993, respondent failed to comply with the ODC's requests for information pertaining to the complaint.

96-DB-077 These charges arise from respondent's failure to comply with the ODC's requests for information regarding two separate complaints filed against him in July of 1996. In both cases, the ODC had subpoenas personally served on respondent compelling his cooperation, but he failed to comply.
