Opinion Delivered March 8, 2007
IN RE: DARRELL F. BROWN, SR.
ARKANSAS BAR NO. 72012
MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE
PLEADINGS AND FOR ENTRY OF
FINAL ORDER OF DISBARMENT
GRANTED.
PER CURIAM
On July 1, 2005, pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. Prof. Conduct §13, we assigned Special
Judge John Cole to preside over disbarment proceedings involving Darrell F. Brown, Sr. Upon
finding Mr. Brown committed misconduct, Judge Cole heard evidence relevant to an
appropriate sanction to be imposed. Id. Afterwards, Judge Cole made findings of fact and
conclusions of law and his recommendation of a sanction, all of which he filed with the clerk
of this court, along with a transcript and record of the proceedings. Upon the filing, the parties
are required to file briefs as in other cases. Under §13, the findings of fact of the special judge
are required to be accepted by this court unless clearly erroneous.
In this appeal, Mr. Brown has failed to file his brief, and on February 21, 2007, he
notified the clerk he will not file a brief. By failing to file an abstract and brief, the court has
nothing to review to question Judge Cole’s findings of fact. Accordingly, we grant petitioner,
Office of Professional Conduct, its request for a final order disbarring Mr. Brown. His name
shall be removed from the registry of attorneys licensed by the State of Arkansas, and he is barred
and enjoined from engaging in the practice of law in this state.
