In the Matter of Discipline of Melissa F. Mack

Summary

The Supreme Court of Nevada grants reciprocal discipline against Melissa F. Mack, who had been disbarred in California for misconduct involving client representation, misrepresentations, and mishandling client funds. Because no exception to mandatory reciprocal discipline applied, the court disbarred Mack from practicing law in Nevada.

Holdings

1. Nevada must impose identical reciprocal discipline because Mack was disbarred in California and no exception under SCR 114(4) applies.
2. The final California adjudication conclusively established Mack's misconduct for purposes of the Nevada disciplinary proceeding.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Nevada should impose reciprocal discipline after California disbarred Mack.
2. Whether any of the exceptions to mandatory identical reciprocal discipline under SCR 114(4) applied.
