10/27/2014 LETTER-FLA BAR (WILL NOT PETITION FOR REVIEW) Adria E. Quintela 897000 BY: Adria E. Quintela 897000 DATED 10/27/2014
11/05/2014 ORDER-COUNS MOTION (NON-COMPLIANCE) Attorney Danie Victor-Laguerre's "Notice of Conclusion of Representation," filed with this Court on October 7, 2014, has been treated as a motion for counsel withdrawal and does not comply with Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.505(f)(1) and Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.440(b). Danie Victor-Laguerre is hereby directed to file a proper motion that lists specific addresses for Respondent, to which documents are to be served thereafter, that complies with the above referenced rules. Danie Victor-Laguerre will remain counsel of record for Janice L. Jennings until a proper motion is filed. After filing such information, counsel's motion to withdraw shall be granted.
Click to open document 02/19/2015 DISP-SUSPENDED (IMMEDIATELY) Having reviewed the uncontested report of referee, the Court approves the referee's findings of fact and recommendations. The Court modifies the referee's recommended suspension of "an indefinite period of time for more than 90 days" to comport with established terms and conditions. See generally Fla. Bar v. Petrano, SC13-2004 (Fla. Nov. 12, 2013). Respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law for ninety-one days and indefinitely thereafter until she complies with the terms and conditions set forth in this order and demonstrates rehabilitation. Respondent is currently suspended; therefore this suspension is effective immediately. Respondent shall fully comply with Rule Regulating the Florida Bar 3-5.1(h). She shall accept no new business from the date of this order. In addition, respondent shall remain suspended until further order of this Court and respondent is ordered: (a) to undergo an evaluation to determine her fitness to practice law within sixty days of the date of this order; (b) to be evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist approved by Florida Lawyers Assistance (FLA), Inc. FLA, Inc., shall determine the psychologist or psychiatrist; (c) to provide The Florida Bar, within thirty days of the date of this order, with proof that respondent has scheduled an evaluation with FLA, Inc.; (d) to abide by all recommendations made by FLA, Inc. including, but not limited to, entering into a rehabilitation contract and; (e) to pay a FLA, Inc. registration fee of $250.00 and a probation monitoring fee of $100.00 a month to The Florida Bar's headquarters office. All monthly monitoring fees must be remitted no later than the end of each respective month in which the monitoring fee is due. All fees must be paid to the Bar's headquarters office in Tallahassee. The doctor chosen by FLA, Inc., shall submit the original report to Staff Counsel of The Florida Bar as soon as possible after conducting the evaluation. If Respondent fails to comply with obtaining the required evaluation within the sixty-day period, the Court will consider additional relief if the Bar files a petition for contempt. If the required evaluation certifies that Respondent is not competent to engage in the practice of law, the Court will consider further measures under rule 3-5.2 for placement on the inactive list for incapacity not related to misconduct. Except as specifically modified herein, the terms and conditions set forth in the order issued by the Court on July 2, 2014, remain in effect. See Fla. Bar v. Jennings, No. SC14-1218 (Fla. July 2, 2014) (imposing an emergency suspension). Judgment is entered for The Florida Bar, 651 East Jefferson Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300, for recovery of costs from Janice L. Jennings in the amount of $2,382.14, for which sum let execution issue. Not final until time expires to file motion for rehearing, and if filed, determined. The filing of a motion for rehearing shall not alter the effective date of this suspension.
