In Re A Member Of State Bar Of Arizona

It is with sadness and disappointment that we order the disbarment of Manfred R. Wetzel. The record reveals that Wetzel has not abandoned the tactics and unprofessional conduct that led to his prior suspension. See Matter of Wetzel, 118 Ariz. 33, 574 P.2d 826 (1978). Indeed, he has persisted in filing unfounded claims in order to harass and extort and has engaged in deceitful conduct in dealings with his colleagues and the courts. The evidence is clear and convincing that Wetzel has abused the right to practice law in this state and that the public interest requires that his license to practice be revoked.
