In the Matter of Mark Probert (Admitted as Mark S. Probert), a
Suspended Attorney, Respondent.
Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District, Petitioner.

92-02731

SUPREME COURT OF NEW YORK, APPELLATE DIVISION, SECOND DEPARTMENT

183 A.D.2d 282; 590 N.Y.S.2d 747

November 9, 1992, Decided

PRIOR HISTORY: [***1]

Disciplinary proceedings instituted by the Grievance Committee for the
Tenth Judicial District. Respondent was admitted to the Bar on
February 15, 1978, at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court in the Second Judicial Department, under the name Mark S.
Probert.

DISPOSITION: Ordered that the petitioner's motion to impose discipline
upon the respondent based upon his failure to appear or answer is
granted; and it is further,

HEADNOTES: Attorney and Client - Disciplinary Proceedings

Respondent attorney, who is charged with 22 counts of failing to
cooperate with investigations of alleged misconduct by the Grievance
Committee, and who has failed to answer or appear, is disbarred.

COUNSEL:

Frank A. Finnerty, Jr., Westbury (Muriel L. Gennosa of counsel), for
petitioner.

JUDGES: Mangano, P. J., Thompson, Bracken, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ.,
concur.

Ordered that the petitioner's motion to impose discipline upon the
respondent based upon his failure to appear or answer is granted; and
it is further,

Ordered that pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90, effective immediately,
the respondent, Mark Probert, is disbarred and his name is stricken
from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law; and it is further,

Ordered that the respondent shall continue to comply with this Court's
rules governing the conduct of disbarred, suspended and resigned
attorneys (22 NYCRR 691.10); and it is further,

Ordered that pursuant to Judiciary [***2] Law § 90, the respondent,
Mark Probert, is commanded to continue to desist and refrain (1) from
practicing law in any form, either as principal or as agent, clerk or
employee of another, (2) from appearing as an attorney or
counselor-at-law before any court, Judge, Justice, board, commission
or other public authority, (3) from giving to another an opinion as to
the law or its application or any advice in relation thereto, and (4)
from holding himself out in any way as an attorney and
counselor-at-law.

OPINIONBY: Per Curiam.

OPINION: [*282]

[**747] By decision and order of this Court dated September 29,
1989, the respondent was suspended from the practice of law until the
further order of this Court based upon his failure to cooperate with
the Grievance Committee. By further order of this Court dated June 4,
1992, the Grievance Committee was authorized to institute and
prosecute a disciplinary proceeding [*283] against the respondent
and the Honorable Moses M. Weinstein was appointed as Special Referee.

[**748] A notice of petition and petition was personally served upon
the respondent on July 2, 1992. No answer was forthcoming. The
petitioner now moves to hold the [***3] respondent in default. The
motion was personally served upon the respondent on August 14, 1992.
The respondent has failed to submit any papers in response to the
default motion.

The charges involve 22 counts of the respondent's failure to cooperate
with the Grievance Committee in its investigations into complaints of
professional misconduct.

The charges, if established, would require the imposition of a
disciplinary sanction against the respondent. Since the respondent has
chosen not to appear or answer in these proceedings, the charges must
be deemed established. The petitioner's motion to hold the respondent
in default and impose discipline is, therefore, granted. Accordingly,
the respondent is disbarred and his name is stricken from the roll of
attorneys and counselors-at-law, effective immediately

In the Matter of Mark Probert (

Snip of irrelevant and diversionary post. This thread is not about me.

Continuing with the relevant, as Naturopathy is on-topic for an
alternative group. From the article:

"The surprise guilty plea took place after prosecutors discovered
Tuesday evening that O'Connell had lied about having a master's degree
when he testified as an expert witness about blood-alcohol levels in a
1999 Jefferson County attempted murder trial."

WOW! They proved he was a liar and Jan Drew is attempting to divert
attention from this. Jan's diversions are legion on Usenet. Recently,
she tried to divert attention from the multiply convicted felon and
conman, Kevin Trudeau, by posting trash about John Stossell and Dr.
Barrett. At the same time, she ignored the comments of Dr. Sidney Wolfe,
who only a moron would claim is a member of evil organized medicine,
whatever that is.

Continuing with the article:

"Prosecutors blamed Flanagan's death on complications from "photo
luminescence" treatments in which a small amount of blood is removed
from a patient's body, exposed to ultraviolet light and then returned.

"The charges concerned O'Connell's treatment of some patients, including
a 17-year-old girl who was rushed to the hospital after she went into
cardiac arrest during a treatment at his office. Other charges stemmed
from his use of a corrosive salve to treat a 55-year-old cancer patient,
who was hospitalized with open sores on his body."

[. . .]

"Jaffe said O'Connell chose to plead guilty not only because of the new
perjury charge but because of a ruling made Tuesday by Jefferson County
District Judge Margie Enquist.

The judge said she would instruct the jurors that a person violates the
Colorado Consumer Protection Act if he uses the title "doctor" without
having a degree from an approved institution. O'Connell's correspondence
school degree did not qualify.

"That was a very, very significant problem," Jaffe said. "He was not
allowed to call himself doctor and we acknowledge that he did. For some
jurors that's the end of the story." "

Doesn't Not-A-Doctor Hulda Clark have a naturopathy "degree" from a mail
order school which used to advertise on matchbook covers? Sure she does.

Jan will attempt to further divert this discussion by saying that the
thread is not about Not-A-Doctor Clark. However, the behavior of this
species of swine is so similar that it cries out for comment.

From a prior article:

http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/lo...431433,00.html

"Those therapies included a controversial procedure called "photo
luminescence" - in which a small amount of blood is removed from a
patient's body, exposed to ultraviolet light and then returned. A small
amount of hydrogen peroxide also is injected into the bloodstream."

While a conviction based on the admission that he is a quack is
interesting, the sad part is that the dead teenager cannot be brought
back to life.

I'm pleased that he got stopped. Though the teenager might have died
anyhow. trt

Of course not, it was written in a peer reviewed study, deaf, dumb and blind
