STIPULATION RE FACTS, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW AND DISPOSITION

IN THE MATTER OF: Jose Elias Sanchez, State Bar No.: 212603

STATE BAR COURT CASE NUMBER: 10-O-08646; 10-O-09773

FACTS AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.

Respondent admits that the following facts are true and that he is culpable of violations of the specified statutes and/or Rules of Professional Conduct.

Case No. 10-O-08646; 10-O-09773 (State Bar Investigations)

FACTS:

1. On or about April 10, 2010, Respondent issued check number 7075 to Roger Ordonez, in the amount of $3,000, from his client trust account at Wells Fargo Bank, #XXXXXX-0827 ("CTA"). Payment of cheek number 7075 caused the balance in Respondent’s CTA to fall to -$1,986.39.

2. On or about July 7, 2010, Respondent issued check number 7094 to Roger Ordonez, in the amount of $1,110, from his CTA, payment of which caused the balance in Respondent’s CTA to fall to $21.39.

3. On or about July 15, 2010, Respondent issued check number 7095 to Maria Lopez, in the amount of $4,000, from his CTA, payment of which caused the balance in Respondent’s CTA to fall to -$3,956.39. Respondent had deposited funds for Lopez’s benefit into a wholly separate client trust account and failed to exercise due care when issuing check number 7095 to Lopez.

4. When Respondent issued check numbers 7075, 7094, and 7095 from his CTA, he should have known that there were insufficient funds in his CTA to cover those checks.

LEGAL CONCLUSIONS

By issuing check numbers 7075, 7094, and 7095 from his CTA, when he should have known there were insufficient funds in the account to pay those cheeks, Respondent wilfully committed an act or acts involving moral turpitude.

PENDING PROCEEDINGS.

The disclosure date referred to, on page 2, paragraph A(7), was October 7, 2011.

(Effective January 1,2011)

(Do not write above this line.)

AUTHORITIES SUPPORTING DISCIPLINE.

Pursuant to Standard 2.3, culpability of a member of an act of moral turpitude shall result in actual suspension or disbarment depending upon the exstent to which the victim of the misconduct is harmed or misled and depending upon the magnitude of the act of misconduct and the degree to which it relates to the member’s acts within the practice of law. Here, by recklessly maintaining--or failing to maintain--adequate records to ensure that withdrawals of funds were made from the same client trust account into which monies were deposited for the benefit of one client, and by grossly negligently making premature disbursements from his client trust account, Respondent committed an act of moral turpitude.

DISMISSALS. The parties respectfully request the Court to dismiss the following alleged violations in the interest of justice:

Case No. 10-0-08646; 10-O-09773, Count ONE, Alleged Violation RPC 4-100(A)

Case No. 10-O-08646; 10-O-09773, Count TWO, Alleged Violation B&P § 6106

COSTS OF DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS.

Respondent acknowledges that the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel has informed respondent that as of October 7, 201 I, the prosecution costs in this matter are $$3,269. Respondent further acknowledges that should this stipulation be rejected or should relief from the stipulation be granted, the costs in this matter may increase due to the cost of further proceedings.
