Rule 13.6 Discipline for Cumulative Admonitions

(a) Grounds. An LPO may be subject to sanction or other remedy under rule 13.1 if the LPO receives three admonitions within a five year period.

(b) Procedure. Upon being presented with evidence that a respondent LPO has received three admonitions within a five year period, the discipline committee may authorize the filing of a formal complaint based solely on the provisions of this rule. A proceeding under this rule is conducted in the same manner as any disciplinary proceeding. The issues in the proceeding are whether the respondent has received three admonitions within a five year period and, if so, what sanction or other remedy should be recommended.
