Docket entry

091376 Weatherbee v. Virginia State Bar 02/25/2010 In a Bar discipline proceeding that led to a public reprimand, the record demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the attorney filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against a physician with no basis in law or fact, and the three-judge circuit court did not err when it concluded that the lawsuit was frivolous within the meaning of Rule 3.1 of the Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct. However, it cannot be said that the circuit court's finding that the attorney did not violate the provisions of Rule 1.1 concerning attorney competence was not justified by the evidence or contrary to law. The judgment is affirmed.
