Heading: Failure to Cooperate with the Disciplinary Investigation

Text: The referee made several findings regarding Milloy's failure to cooperate with the disciplinary investigation. Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct 8.1(a)(3) and Rule 25(a), RLPR, both require that a lawyer comply with reasonable requests from the director. Violation of these rules is in itself unprofessional conduct and shall constitute a ground for discipline. Rule 25(b) RLPR. Milloy testified that she has not responded appropriately to the Board, and there is ample evidence that Milloy failed to respond to the director's initial inquiries. We conclude that Milloy violated Minn. R. Prof. Cond. 8.1(a)(3), Rule 25(a), RLPR, and the terms of her 1995 probation by failing to cooperate with the disciplinary investigation.
