Heading: Nebraska Disciplinary History

Text: [¶ 6.] A Nebraska disciplinary referee found by clear and convincing evidence that Rokahr had committed three ethical violations: (1) backdating the aforementioned easement; (2) colluding with Allen in backdating and filing the easement; and, (3) engaging in delay, deceit, and deception in the delivery of certain deeds to the beneficiaries. The referee also rejected Rokahr's testimony as not credible. The referee recommended Rokahr be suspended from the practice of law for six months. The Nebraska Supreme Court determined that clear and convincing evidence existed to support the findings of the referee that Rokahr backdated the easement and colluded with Allen in backdating and filing the easement. Counsel for Discipline of the Nebraska Supreme Court v. Rokahr, 267 Neb. 436, 675 N.W.2d 117, 128 (2004). The Nebraska Supreme Court rejected the referee's finding that Rokahr engaged in delay, deceit, and deception in the delivery of deeds to the beneficiaries. Id. at 130. The Nebraska Supreme Court ultimately suspended Rokahr from the practice of law for one year. [2] Id. at 131.
