UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

In re: LARRY D. BARNETT No. 08-801

ORDER

Before KELLY, BRISCOE and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.

On January 11, 2008 a panel of this court entered an order striking Larry

Barnett as defense counsel from appeal 07-6144, United States v. Buchanan, and

referring him to the court’s attorney discipline program. The order was premised on

Mr. Barnett’s failure in 07-6144 to timely file the preliminary documents or to ensure

that the filing fee was paid. This in spite of repeated warnings and admonitions from

this court. In addition his motions to dismiss and to withdraw failed to satisfy the

clear requirements of this court’s rules.

On January 14, 2008, the court issued an order in this disciplinary proceeding

directing Mr. Barnett to show cause why disciplinary sanctions should not be

imposed. Mr. Barnett did not respond to that order.

Mr. Barnett’s repeated failure to timely comply with court rules and orders and

his lack of diligence unnecessarily and unreasonably added a burden on the judicial

system and delayed his client’s appeal.

For these reasons, Mr. Barnett is REPRIMANDED.
