KENTUCKY BAR ASSOCIATION,
CLE COMMISSION
MOVANT
IN SUPREME COURT
V.
RESPONDENT
JARED SQUIRES
OPINION AND ORDER
The Kentucky Bar Association, CLE Commission, moves this Court to
enter an order of suspension against the Respondent, Jared Squires, KBA
Membership No . 89972, whose current bar roster address is 27240 Pierce
Ranch Road, Davis, California 95615, for failure to comply with an order of this
Court. This Court's previous order gave the Respondent ninety (90) days to
complete his continuing legal education (CLE) requirements for the 2006-2007
educational year . Due to his failure to comply with the Court's order, the CLE
Commission requests that the Respondent be suspended pursuant to SCR
3.669(4) . Finding that Respondent has not shown cause why he should not be
suspended, we now enter an order of suspension .
Respondent has not reported any CLE credits since this Court's March
20, 2008, Order, finding that he had shown cause why he should not be
suspended from the practice of law and giving him ninety (90) days to complete
his CLE requirements . We gave the Respondent this time period to complete
his requirements because of personal and business problems, which included
his wife's medical problems and his attempt to accommodate her needs.
However, while this Court recognized the need for some relief, we also urged
him to understand the need to complete the requirements and get this matter
behind him, and also start looking to the 2007-2008 educational year.
After the deadline to complete the CLE requirements passed, the CLE
Commission filed a status report detailing the Respondent's failure to comply
with the prior order of this Court. The CLE Commission states that the
Respondent is still deficient 4 .5 credit hours, including 1 .0 ethics credit for the
2006-2007 educational year, and is also in noncompliance for the 2007-2008
educational year. Accordingly, the CLE Commission renewed its motion to
suspend the Respondent from the practice of law. Because the Respondent
has failed to comply with this Court's previous order, we find good cause to
suspend him pursuant to SCR 3 .669(4).
ACCORDINGLY IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) Jared Squires, KBA Member No. 89972, shall therefore be
suspended from the practice of law until such time as this Court
enters an order restoring or reinstating his membership in the
Kentucky Bar Association.
(2)
Respondent shall not file an application for restoration or
reinstatement until such time as any CLE deficiency of record and
existing requirements are met as set forth in SCR 3 .675 .
(3) Pursuant to SCR 3.390, the Respondent is ordered to, within ten
(10) working days from the entry of this Order, notify all courts in
writing in which he has matters pending, and provide written notice
to any clients he is currently representing of his inability to provide
further legal services, and of the necessity and urgency of promptly
retaining new counsel; and upon issuance of this opinion,
Respondent shall, to the extent possible, cancel and cease any
advertising activities .
All sitting. All concur.
