An Austin attorney has been suspended from practicing in the Western District of Texas for three years for pursuing baseless stalking allegations against his opposing counsel.

In an order earlier this week, Senior U.S. District Judge David Ezra of San Antonio rejected objections to a Western District of Texas Disciplinary Committee report filed by the attorney, Omar Rosales. The committee found in April that Rosales “engaged in serious misconduct” and recommended that he be barred from practicing in the district.

“The court agrees with the final report's conclusions — and has independently found that the record clearly and convincingly demonstrates — that Rosales has failed to acknowledge … repeated admonitions that sanctions, and potentially disbarment, would result from continued misconduct,” Ezra wrote in his July 11 order.
