STATE ex rel. OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION v. KUTNER
2022 OK 18, SCBD-7060
Decided 02/28/2022
ΒΆ0 Complainant, the State of Oklahoma ex rel. Oklahoma Bar Association, initiated disciplinary proceedings against Respondent, Sanford A. Kutner, a licensed Oklahoma lawyer, based on professional discipline in Louisiana. We find that the acts underlying that matter amount to professional misconduct in this State, and further, that Kutner neglected to promptly inform the Oklahoma Bar Association that he had been sanctioned for that conduct in another jurisdiction. We find disciplinary action in Oklahoma is warranted, suspend Kutner from the practice of law in Oklahoma for eighteen months, and assess costs.
