The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reprimanded an attorney Friday, reiterating that the days of tolerated noncompliance with the court’s scheduling orders are long -gone. Mario DeMarco of Port Chester failed to file timely petitions for review, filed briefs that did not address issues the court wanted addressed, failed to file a required form in 11 cases and failed to timely file a brief in 10 cases, the circuit found.
But a three-judge panel agreed with the court’s Committee on Admissions and Grievances that only a public reprimand instead of a suspension was warranted, because the evidence showed his “conduct was negligent rather than deliberate, that he did not deliberately mislead the Court or Committee, and that some of the deficient conduct resulted from inadequate supervision of employees rather than his own direct negligence.”
