GREEN v. VIRGINIA STATE BAR

Record No. 060558.

636 S.E.2d 412 (2006)

Walter Franklin GREEN, IV v. VIRGINIA STATE BAR.

Supreme Court of Virginia.

November 3, 2006.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Walter F. Green, IV, Harrisonburg, pro se.

Catherine Crooks Hill, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Robert F. McDonnell, Atty. Gen., Maureen Riley Matsen, Deputy Atty. Gen., Peter R. Messitt, Sr. Asst. Atty. Gen., on brief), for appellee.

Present: HASSELL, C.J., LACY, KEENAN, KINSER, LEMONS, and AGEE, JJ., and CARRICO S.J.

OPINION BY Justice CYNTHIA D. KINSER.

This case is an appeal of right by an attorney from a ruling of the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board (Disciplinary Board). Because we conclude that the Disciplinary Board abused its discretion in refusing to admit certain evidence in mitigation of a sanction, we will reverse the Disciplinary Board's order imposing a 60-day suspension of the attorney's license to practice law in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
