Kevin L. Cathcart (WSBA No. 32458, admitted 2002), of Portland, Oregon, was ordered to receive a reprimand, entered on May 20, 2008, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court imposing reciprocal discipline in accordance with an order from the Supreme Court of the State of Oregon following approval of a stipulation. This discipline is based on conduct in a malpractice matter involving a misrepresentation made to a tribunal. For more information, see the Oregon State Bar Bulletin (January 2008), available at www.osbar.org/.
Mr. Cathcart's conduct violated Oregon's RPC 3.3, prohibiting a lawyer from knowingly making a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal; and Oregon's RPC 8.4(a)(3), prohibiting a lawyer from engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation that reflects adversely on the lawyer's fitness to practice law.
