RESPONDENT
MATTHEW P. KAMMERER
ORDER
The Kentucky Bar Association Continuing Legal Education Commission
moves this Court to suspend Respondent, Matthew P. Kammerer, from the practice of
law pursuant to SCR 3.669(4) for failure to meet the annual minimum continuing legal
education requirements. Because Respondent has failed to show cause why he should
not be suspended for his deficiency in CLE credits, the Commission’s motion is granted.
Respondent, whose last business address of record is Suite 400, 700
Walnut Street, Cincinnati OH, failed to meet the continuing legal education
requirements set forth in SCR 3.661 for the educational year ending June 30, 1999.
Respondent was sent four notices regarding his CLE record, one in each of the months
of March, May, July, and August of 1999. He did not respond to any of these notices.
Respondent was also called numerous times on the phone by the Assistant CLE
Director regarding his non-compliance with CLE requirements.
On November 30, 1999, the CLE Commission filed with this Court a
Motion for Entry of Show Cause, and Respondent was sent notice of the motion. On
December 6, 1999, this Court issued an order to Respondent to show cause why he
should not be suspended from the practice of law for failure to meet the CLE
requirements. Thereafter, Respondent called the CLE office and spoke with the CLE
Director about the matter. On December 28, 1999, Respondent filed a Motion for an
Extension of Time to Respond to the Show Cause Order. The motion was granted, and
Respondent was allowed until January 31, 2000 to file his response. Subsequently, no
response was filed..
Respondent has failed to show cause as to why he should not be
suspended from the practice of law for his deficiency in CLE credits. Thus, the motion
of the CLE Commission is granted. It is further ordered that
1. Respondent, Matthew P. Kammerer, is hereby suspended from the
practice of law. The suspension shall commence on the date of entry of this order and
shall continue until such time as this Court enters an order restoring his membership in
the Kentucky Bar Association.
2. Respondent, Matthew P. Kammerer, shall not file an application for
restoration pursuant to SCR 3.500 until he has acquired sufficient CLE credits to cure
his deficiency and has met the other requirements set forth in SCR 3.675.
3. In accordance with SCR 3.390, Respondent, Matthew P. Kammerer,
shall, within ten (10) days of the entry of this order, notify all clients of his inability to
represent them and of the necessity and urgency of promptly retaining new counsel.
-2-
Respondent shall furnish copies of said letters of notice to the Director of the Kentucky
Bar Association. Respondent shall also provide such notification to all courts in which
he has matters pending.
All concur.
