In re Craig

In this attorney disciplinary matter, the State Bar has filed a Notice of Discipline seeking disbarment of Carolyn E. Craig for her violation of Rule 9.4 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 9.4 provides for reciprocal discipline when another jurisdiction disbars or suspends a lawyer. Because Craig has been disbarred in South Carolina for multiple offenses and she has not filed any response in this proceeding, we agree with the State Bar’s recommendation that she should be disbarred from the practice of law in Georgia.

The record shows that Craig provided only a post office box as her address to the Membership Department of the State Bar. The Bar served her with the Notice of Discipline by publication in the Sun News in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on November 8 and 15, 2002, and by a contemporaneous mailing to her post office box. See Bar Rule 4-203.1 b 3 ii. Since Craig did not reject the Notice of Discipline, she is in default, has no right to an evidentiary hearing, and is subject to discipline by this Court. See Bar Rule 4-208.1.
