HOOPER, DAVID BPR # 010243
June 02, 1998 County:Shelby District:9
Public censure on June 2, 1998 for failing to lodge a brief or to contact the Court of Criminal
Appeals after the Court denied his motion for a third extension of time because the motion was
untimely filed. He had previously been ordered to appear before the Court of Criminal Appeals
in November and December of 1997 and February of 1998 to show cause for his failure to file a
brief; his failure to appear at scheduled hearings; and to discuss why the appeal should not be
dismissed and why he should not be held in contempt of court. He did not respond until March
3, 1998 when he appeared before the Court. The Court found that he was in contempt, fined him
$50, and sentenced him to two days in jail, which was suspended. The Court further ordered that
he was suspended from practicing law in front of it for one year from March 3, 1998.
