The state bar’s Commission for Lawyer Discipline has filed a new case against an Austin lawyer who was sanctioned and suspended from federal court practice for allegedly making false statements about well-known civil rights lawyer Jim Harrington of Austin.

Omar Weaver Rosales recently won a motion to dismiss in a separate disciplinary case related to letters he sent claiming ADA violations. But this new discipline case is related to conduct that got him sanctioned for nearly $176,000 and suspended from practicing in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas for three years.
