Description

DOYLE, Circuit Judge. This appeal is concerned with an attorney disciplinary proceeding which was ancillary or supplemental to an antitrust case in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Keith B. Redd, d/b/a Abajo Petroleum v. Shell Oil Company. The lawyer who was subjected to the disciplinary sanction was Michael W. Graney of the District of Columbia, attorney for Shell Oil Company in the antitrust case. The trial court determined that Graney had sponsored what the court found and determined to be a meritless and untimely motion for disqualification of all of adversary's counsel, which motion had been made without adequate investigation. The court proceeded to apply the principle that the filing of a motion for disqualification drawing into question the ethical propriety of an adversary's conduct, and without adequate foundation, constitutes a violation of ethical standards. The reasoning was that the sponsorship of such a motion on the eve of trial based on circumstances which had been present long prior thereto constituted a sham and justified the imposition of sanctions. Thereupon, the court determined that Mr. Graney should be fined in the amount of $5,000.
