The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct has filed six disciplinary case reports with the Supreme Court of Ohio. Two reports recommend sanctions for attorneys convicted of felonies and two other filings recommend permanent disbarment of attorneys who failed to respond to formal disciplinary charges.

Parties will have an opportunity to file objections to the board’s reports and recommendations with the Supreme Court. If a party files objections, the Supreme Court will schedule the case for oral argument.
