Board of Overseers of the Bar v. Murphy

PER CURIAM. On July 31, 1991, a single justice of the Supreme Judicial Court (Wathen, J.) issued an opinion and order that declared Daniel J. Murphy to have violated and to be in contempt of a prior order of a single justice of the Supreme Judicial Court (Wathen, J.) that disbarred Murphy from the practice of law in the State of Maine, effective April 16, 1990. We affirmed that disbarment order in February 1990, see Board of Overseers of the Bar v. Murphy, 570 A.2d 1212 (Me.1990), and today we affirm the order holding Murphy in contempt of court. The record before us amply supports the single justice’s factual findings that after the effective date of the disbarment order, Murphy had undertaken himself to prepare a deed and two wills on forms containing the printed designation “Daniel J. Murphy, Attorney-at-Law” and that until the spring of 1990, Murphy had failed to remove the designation “Attomey-at-Law” under his name on his office directory. Contrary to Murphy’s contentions, the single justice did not err in concluding that those facts rendered Murphy in violation of the order disbarring him from the practice of law in the State of Maine. See Maine Bar Rule 7(n)(l)(F); Board of Overseers of the Bar v. MacKerron, 581 A.2d 424 (Me.1990). None of Murphy’s other contentions merit discussion. The entry is: Judgment affirmed. All concurring.
