In re Bernard Sabbath Strick on Disbarment

[34 Cal3d Page 895] In this proceeding we review the report of the State Bar Court that petitioner has been convicted of criminal offenses involving moral turpitude and the recommendation that he be disbarred because of the severity of the misconduct surrounding the conviction of passing a forged prescription for a controlled substance. The State Bar has not made a recommendation of the appropriate discipline for petitioner's convictions of the more serious crimes of voluntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly [34 Cal3d Page 896] weapon because those convictions did not become final on appeal until after State Bar proceedings were concluded.
