(Hagatna, Guam)
No. M2015-02231-SC-BAR-BP JAN - 8 2016
BOPR No. 2015-2511-0-AW(25)
Clerk of the Courts
Rec'd By
ORDER OF RECIPROCAL DISCIPLINE
This matter is before the Court pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25, upon a
Notice of Submission filed by the Board of Professional Responsibility ("Board")
consisting of a certified copy of an Order from the Supreme Court of Guam entered
September 4, 2015, publicly reprimanding Jeffery Lamont Warfield.
On November 25, 2015, this Court entered a Notice of Reciprocal Discipline
requiring Mr. Warfield to inform this Court within thirty (30) days of receipt of the
Notice why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed in Tennessee pursuant to Tenn.
Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4 or, in the absence of a response demonstrating the grounds set forth
in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4, the Supreme Court of Tennessee will impose a discipline
with identical terms and conditions based upon the Order of the Supreme Court of Guam.
This Court has received no response from Mr. Warfield.
After careful consideration ofthe record in this matter, the Court finds, based upon
the particular facts of this case, that none of the elements in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4
exist. As a result, it is appropriate to enter an Order of Reciprocal Discipline.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED BY THE COURT THAT:
(1) Jeffery Lamont Warfield is hereby publicly censured pursuant to Tenn.
Sup. Ct. R. 9, §§ 12.4 and 25.4.
(2) Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 28.1, this Order shall be effective upon
entry.
(3) Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 31.3 (2014), Mr. Warfield shall pay to
the Board of Professional Responsibility the expenses and costs of this
matter in the amount of $66.66 and shall pay to the Clerk of this Court the
costs incurred herein, within ninety (90) days of the entry of this Order, for
all of which execution may issue if necessary.
(4) The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
discipline to be published.
