Text: Johnson represented Donna Mann in her dissolution of marriage action commencing in 1996 in Jefferson County. On or about October 15, 1997, a stipulation for permanent orders was filed in the dissolution action. On October 16, 1997 the court entered the decree of dissolution and adopted the stipulation as the court's permanent orders. On October 27, 1997 the Colorado Supreme Court entered an Order suspending Johnson from the practice of law for a period of eighteen months. People v. Johnson, 946 P.2d 469 (Colo.1997). Johnson failed to notify opposing counsel in the Mann dissolution case of his suspension by certified mail as required by C.R.C.P. 241.21(b), and failed to withdraw from the case. Additional documentation remained to be prepared in the domestic relations case at the time of Johnson's suspension.
