William W. Eakin, CF-2019-6, Jefferson County District Court, State of Oklahoma. Respondent was found guilty of 3 crimes: Offering Fraudulent Evidence, a felony, in violation of 21 O.S. §451; Offering False Instrument for Recordation, a felony, in violation of 21 O.S. §463; and Conspiracy, a felony, in violation of 21 O.S. §421. The District Court sentenced Eakin to pay a fine of $250.00 plus all court costs and assessments, plus juror costs of 13 jurors x $20; to pay a fine of $250 plus court costs and assessments; and to pay a fine of $250.00 plus court costs and assessments.
¶2 Rule 7.3 of the RGDP provides: "Upon receipt of the certified copies of Judgment and Sentence on a plea of guilty, order deferring judgment and sentence, indictment or information and the judgment and sentence, the Supreme Court may by order immediately suspend the lawyer from the practice of law until further order of the Court." Having received certified copies of these papers and orders, this Court orders that William W. Eakin is immediately suspended from the practice of law. William W.
