Jay R. Slobey was censured by the Board of Professional Responsibility on Monday (April 20). The board took the action based on Slobey’s handling of a motion to dismiss a client’s case. After securing opposing counsel’s consent for a one-week extension to respond to the motion, Slobey told the court that opposing counsel did not object to a three-week extension. The court granted his motion. When opposing counsel brought the matter to the court’s attention, the court granted the motion to dismiss the case. Slobey never responded and did not inform his client about the dismissal. Read the BPR release.
