This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the report and recommendation of the special master, Stephen Clay Carter, recommending that Adrienne Regina McFall State Bar No. 491035 be disbarred for her abandonment of a client. McFall is currently under an 18-month suspension for her abandonment of another client. In the Matter of McFall, 289 Ga. 829 716 SE2d 221 2011.

After being properly served by publication with the formal complaint, McFall failed to file a response as required by Rule 4-212 a, and the special master granted the State Bar’s motion for default. The facts, as deemed admitted by McFall’s default, show that McFall, who was admitted to the Bar in 1992, was living in Ohio in 2006 and was retained to represent a client in a divorce action. The client paid McFall $700. At the time she was retained, McFall was not licensed to practice law in Ohio, although she had been temporarily certified to practice law in Ohio from October 2004 through November 2005 under an Ohio rule that permits temporary certification for lawyers employed with a legal services or public defender program that is providing services solely to indigent clients. McFall performed no legal services for her client, did not communicate with the client, and failed to refund the fee she received.
