RESIGNATIONS

Posted Feb 5, 2014

RESIGNATIONS

On Nov. 19, 2013, the Supreme Court of Texas accepted the resignation, in lieu of discipline, of Ken Anderson [#01196500], 61, of Georgetown. At the time of Anderson's resignation, Case No. 12-1093-C26, styled Commission for Lawyer Discipline v. Ken Anderson, was pending in the 26th District Court of Williamson County, which alleged the following:

In August of 1986, Christine Morton was murdered in Williamson County, Texas. Anderson was the Williamson County district attorney and lead prosecutor in the case against Michael Morton, who was charged with his wife's murder. The case against Morton went to a jury trial in February of 1987. The defense theory at trial was that the murder was committed by an unknown intruder. The jury found Morton guilty of murder, and he was sentenced to life in prison. In 2011, Morton was exonerated of his wife's murder.

Before, during, and after the 1987 trial, Anderson knew of the existence of evidence that tended to negate the guilt of Morton and failed to disclose that evidence to defense counsel. Further, during a pretrial hearing on Feb. 6, 1987, Anderson told the trial court that he had no evidence favorable to the accused. That statement was false.

Anderson violated Rules 1.102(a)(1), 1.102(a)(5), 7.102(a)(5), and 7.103(b). On Dec. 10, 2013, the Supreme Court of Texas accepted the resignation, in lieu of discipline, of Kennitra M. Foote [#24029552], 41, of Spring. At the time of Foote's resignation, there were nine disciplinary matters pending against her alleging that she neglected a legal matter entrusted to her; failed to abide by a client's decision whether to accept an offer of settlement; failed to keep a client reasonably informed about the status of his legal matter; failed to provide a contingency fee to the client with a written statement regarding the outcome of the matter; failed to promptly deliver to clients or third persons funds to which they were entitled; failed to refund advance payments of fee that had not been earned; violated a disciplinary judgment; failed to furnish a response to the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel; and engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, dečcit, or misrepresentation.

*4 Foote violated Rules 1.01 ( b ) ( 1 ) , 1.02 ( a ) ( 2 ) , 1.03 ( a ) , 1.03 ( b ) , 1.04 ( d ) , 1.14 ( b ) , 1.15 ( d ) , 8.04 ( a ) ( 3 ) , 8.04 ( a ) ( 7 ) , and 8.04 ( a ) ( 8 ) .

On Dec. 10, 2013, the Supreme Court of Texas accepted the resignation, in lieu of discipline, of James A. Endicott Jr. [#06613800], 74, of Harker Heights. At the time of Endicott's resignation, three disciplinary matters were pending. In one matter, Endicott failed to promptly deliver funds to a client, and in another, he violated a disciplinary judgment. In two of the matters, Endicott neglected the legal matters entrusted to him and failed to return unearned fees. In all of the matters, Endicott failed to promptly

Endicott violated Rules 1.01 ( h ) ( 1 ) , 1.03 ( a ) , 1.14 ( h ) , 1.15 ( d ) , 8.04 ( a ) ( 1 ) , 8.04 ( a ) ( 7 ) , and 8.04 ( a ) ( 8 )

On D: = 0.22 : 3 , the Supreme Court of Torses accepted the resignation, in lieu of discipline, of Jus Anthony Poster Jr. [#07005200], 63, of Fort Davis. At the time of Endicott's resignation, there was no final form of the 200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT OF TEXAS

MISC. DOCKET NO. 13-9166

IN THE MATTER OF KENNITRA M. FOOTE

The Court has reviewed the Motion for Acceptance of Resignation as Attorney and Counselor at Law in Lieu of Disciplinary Action of Kennitra M. Foote (the Motion) and the Response of the Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel for the Commission for Lawyer Discipline (the Response). The Court concludes each meets the requirements of Part X of the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure. Therefore, the Court deems the professional misconduct detailed in the Response conclusively established for all purposes. The Court further concludes that acceptance of the resignation of Kennitra M. Foote is in the best interest of the public and the profession.

Therefore, the law license of Kennitra M. Foote of Houston, Texas, State Bar Card Number 24029552 is canceled. The Court notes that Kennitra M. Foote has already surrendered her Texas bar card and Texas law license to the Clerk of this Court.

Consequently, Kennitra M. Foote is prohibited from practicing law in the State of Texas. She is prohibited from holding herself out as an attorney at law, performing legal services for others, giving legal advice to others, accepting any fee directly or indirectly for legal services, appearing as counsel or in any representative capacity in any proceeding in any Texas court or before any Texas administrative body (whether state, county, municipal, or other), or holding herself out to others or using her name in any manner in conjunction with the words "Attorney at Law," "Counselor at Law," or "Lawyer."

EX PARTE

MARCUS PUNNELL WILHITE

RESUTTIAL TO AFFIDAVIT OF KENNITRA M. FODTE

  1. Marcus P. Wiluite, was represented by former Texas attorney Kenntra M. Foote, in case numbers 1141857 and 1178149. In contrast to the Affidavit pied, as previous client of the State's witness, I can attest to the following as untrue:

  2. Ms. Kenntra M. Foote did not keep me reasonably informed of the actions now process of the charges that were pending against me. I did not refuse to do to trial, I in fact insisted on it. Ms. Foote made me sikh, on Marcu 3, 2009, the court deset form, by an X, benerth the writing of, "I don't want the ISye. offer, I want to do to trial." (See Court Reset Form; dated 3-3-09; Client Ms. Foote, until my trial date, June 29, 2009; which was set after the reporting of 3-3-09 to 3-17-09, when I went before the Judge to be admonished concerning trial. According to court records, I was set for trial per puth the dates of, 8-18-08 and 6-29-09, stemming from me doing before the Judge, insisting on doing to trial. (See: Docket Sheet, stamped 5-21-08; Docket Sheet, stamped 3-17-09; Client Recort)

The State did not continue to offer career and career sentences as the case went on; in fact, the State offered smaller and smaller sentences: 30 yrs., to 20 yrs., to 15 yrs. (See Court Reset Form; dated 3-3-09; Client Recort) If. Ms. Foote was "sure" that I would receive a lesser punishment from the Judge than from the State, why was the P.S.I. without an adered recommendation; why was I still subject to the full range of punishment, 5-99 yrs., when the States offer was 15 yrs.,"in which I received"??? If Ms. Foote was"sure" (i.e. promise), why didn't I receive less than what the State offered???

If Ms. Foote explained in detail the P.S.I. else agreement and insteuted me where to sish after each statement was explained, why did Ms. Foote do theoull the paremore first and put X ′ s everywhere I should initial??? If she explained it to me at all, let alone first, how could she have put an X in an area not applicable and how to sCRatell the would aPR out??? (See P.S.I. Pler-Represent Paremore; Client Record) Ms. Kenntra M. Foote is being untruthfull, hee usual modus operandi. 2. If no coercion nor turents were not stated nor implied for me to plead divilt, why would Ms. Foote make me sish a court reset form, stratina, "I don't

*10 CONT. ; PAGE 1. 1

WANT THE ISYR. OFFER, I WANT TO GO TO TRIAL." (SEE: COURT RESTF FORM: DATED 3-3-09; CLEXES' SECOED) IF MY CASE WAS "ABOUT TO BE" SET FOR TRIAL BEFORE THE JUDGEO P.S.I. ADMONISUMENTS, WHY WAS IT ALRANDY SET FOR TRIAL, CLEXELY EXPRESSED??? (SEE: DACKET SHEET; STAMPED 3-11-09; CLEXES'SECOED) IF JUDGE COLLINS OFFERED TO CONDUCT A P.S.I HARRING AND OFFER LESS THAN WANT THE STATE HAD ON THE TABLE, WHY DIDNT I RECEIVE LESS THAN THE ISYES. ; WHY WAS I WET SUBJECT TO THE FULL RANGE OF PUNISHMENT??? ARE THESE "CONTRADICTING" EVERY'S WANT LED TO "A BREAK IN THE STANDOFF" BETWEEN THE STATES WITNESS AND MYSELF??? Is this WANT LED ME TO PLAND GUILTY??? WHY WASN't JUDGE COLLINS' OFFER MADE GOOD (i.e. FULFILLED), IF MY ARREEMENT TO PLEAD GUILTY RESTED UPON SAID OFFER???

IF M. FOTTE TROUY FELT THAT I WOULD NEVER ALKWY MYSELF TO BE LED, WHY WOULD HER TESTIMONY, SUPPOSEDLY IN MY BEHALE, AT THE P.S.I. HARRING BE, "MR. WILHITE IS A FOLLOWER AND INCREBSE OF BEING A LERDER."??? IF I SIEMED THE PLEA ARREEMENT DOCUMENTS WITHOUT HESITATION, WHEN DID M. FOTTE EXPLAIN THEN TO ME; WHERE WAS MY USUAL MODUS OPERANDI THEN, SEEING THAT THERE WAS NO HESITATION BETWEEN ME RECEIVING AND SIGNING THEM??? IF M. FOTTE EXPLAINED TO ME as SUE GID"AL HER CLIENTS", WOULD I BE CONSIDERED MISINFORMED, OR DECEIVED??? (SEE: FERRUARY ADIV ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS)

IF M. FOTTE LET ME KNOW (i.e. PROMISE) I WOULD RECEIVE A LESSER SENTENCE THAN WAS ON THE TABLE WITH THE STATE, WHY RECORDING TO COURT RECORDS I DIDNT??? IF I FILTLY REFUSED THE OPTION OF GOING TO TRIAL, HOW WAS I PROPERLY ADMONIISLED TO BE SET FOR TRIAL TWICE??? (SEE: DACKET SHEET; STAMPED 5-21-09; DACKET SHEET; STAMPED 3-11-09; CLEXES'SECOED) M. KEMWITER M. FODTE IS BEING UNTRUTUPUL, HER USUAL MODUS OPERANDI. 3. If M. FOTTE "PROMISED" ME THAT THE JUDGE, THROUGH P.S.I., WOULD OFFER ME LESS THAN WANT THE STATE HAD OFFERED AS A PLEA ARREEMENT, WHY WOULDNT M. FOTTE PUT A CAP ON THE RANGE OF PUNISHMENT, BUT LEFT ME SUBJECT TO THE FULL RANGE OF PUNISHMENT, AND WITH A "PROMISE" THAT'S SUBJECT TO NOT BE MADE GOOD (i.e. FULFILLED). WOULD A JUDGE, THROUGH A P.S.I., OFFER ME PUNISHMENT, OR "GIVE" ME PUNISHMENT??? BECAUSE I WASN't OFFERED ANYTHING. IF THE IS YEZ. WAS AN OFFER, CLEXES'SECOED SHOW THAT I DIDNT WANT THE ISYR. OFFER, BUT WANIED TO GO TO TRIAL.

IF THE OUTCOME OF THE P.S.I. REPORT WOULD ORTERMINE IF I WOULD RECEIVE PROBATION, WHY WASN'T I OIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEN THE P.S.I. REPORT AT ANY STAGE OF MY CASE??? IF THE JUDGE DEEIVING INTO THE ACTUAL CASE WOULD ORTERMINE IF I WOULD RECEIVE PROBATION, WHY WOULD THE JUDGE

*11 TELL ME, as sOON as the HERRING StartEd, Before DElving INTO THE ACTUAL CASE, THAT SHE WAS NOT GOING TO aIVE ME PROBATION ??? I HAD THOUGHT A P.S.I. WAS About probation: I FILLED OUT A REWUEST FOR DEdERTION (SEE: MOTION FOR Community Supervision; ClarkS Record), SÍANED FOR THE P.S.I. , FILLED OUT A DEdertion PACKET, THEN WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD MEET WITH A DEdertion OFFICER SOON AFTER. Note: MOTION FOR COMMUNITT SUPERVISION WAS ERROMEOUSLY FILLED OUT BY M's. FOOTE, ATTENTING THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN PLACED ON COMMUNITY SUPERVISION FOR A FELONY. BOTH M's. FOOTE AND JUDGE COLLINS MADE ME TO BELEVE THAT IT WAS WHAT A P.S.I. WAS ABOUT AND THATS HOW I WOULD RECEIVE IT (i.e. probation). M's. KENNITER M. FOOTE IS BEING UNITRUTUFULL, HER USUAL MODUS OPERANDI. 4. I DID NOT WAIVE THE COURT REPORTER RECORDING THE HERRING; I HAD RESOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS; AND DEFINATLY DID NOT CONSENT TO IT. THROYANOUT THE DURATION OF THE HERRING I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS BEING RECORDED, I HAD NO REASON TO THINK OTHERWISSE THE COURT REPORTER SAY IN POSITION TO RECORD THE HERRING, WITH HER MACHINE IN FRONT OF HER AND OPERATING it (i.e. TYPING); WHEN THE JUDGE LEFT THE BENCH, SHE TOLD THE COURT REPORTER, "WERE OFF THE RECORD" (OR SOMMETRING SIMULAR IN MAIURE, AND THERE WAS NO MORE TYPING, AND WHEN THE JUDGE CAINE BACK, SHE TOLD THE COURT REPORTER, "WERE BACK ON THE RECORD" (OR SOMMTRING SIMULAR IN MAIURE), AND THE COURT REPORTER STRETED BACK TYPING. WHAT ELSE WOULD I, OR ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING THINK???

IF I WAS PRESENT WHEN THE COURT REPORTER WAS WAIVED AND RENEED, WHY DID OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, MARCICA BARNETT, WRIE to THE 14TH COURT OF APPELLS, THAT M's. FOOTE CAME TO HER, AND SHE ASKED "M's. FOOTE IT THE HERRING WAS GOING TO BE RECORDED, AND "M's. FOOTE" SIDD NO THAT IT WASN'T; THE COURT REPORTER DID NOT MENTION M'R. MARCUS P. WILIITE (SEE: OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER; AORTU; MARCICA BARNETT; STRUMENT TO 14TH COURT OF APPELLS; EXHIBIT IN AFFICIATION FOR WAIIT OF HABERS CORPUS); WHY DID ATTORNEY FOR THE STATE, J. STEPHENSON, ON IA-16-09, at NY MERSEMENT HERRING, TELL JUDGE DEWISE COLLINS THAT HE AND KENNITER ARREED TO WAIVE THE RECORDING OF THE HERRING; THE PROSECU'T'R DID NOT MENTION M'R. MARCUS P. WILIITE (SEE: RECORDING OF MERSEMENT HERRING; 12-16-09; H.C. AORTU D.C.) ??? WHY IS THERE A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT OF THIS "WAIVER" FROM M's. KENNITER M. FOOTE, M's. MARCICA BARNETT, AND M'R. J. STEPHENSON ??? IF THE RULES OF APPELTTE PROCEDURE, RULE 13.1, SAYS, THE OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER MUST, WNLESS EXCUSED BY ADREEMENT OF THE PARTIES, MAKE A FULL RECORD OF THE

*12 proceding, why wasn't this "notement" enforced by being put in writing, signed and filed with the papers as part of the record, or made in open court and entered into the record, according to the Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule II??? Why the clere's record don't include copies of any written wnives of the reportees record of the P.S.I. Hearings, according to the Rules of Appelate Procedure, Rule 34.5 (a)(2)?? Mr. Marcus P. Wilkite never signed any wniver of not waived before open court the reporters record of the P.S.I. Hearings (See: Clere's Record)

My mother was never given the opportunity to come forward to the bench to speak on my behalf as a character witness (See: Ms. Pamela E. Wilkite; Affidavit; Exhibit of Application for Unit of Habeas Corpus). Ms. Foste' claim that the States witnesses were not called because of a sterectic move on her part, is in conflict with the Judee Askins the presecular, where are his witnesses, and him teklins her that he don't have any"; and the Judee Askins the presecular, what did the witnesses have to say, and him tellins her, "they said that they don't want to have anything to do with the case". Rules of Evidence, Rule 804 (a)(b)(c)(d) says, a decureant is considered to be unavaiable as a witness under those circumstances.

The navies a right to appeal, and Ms. Foste status that I noted to the P.S.I. in instant I didn't receive probation I could still dispute my sentence, why would I waive my reporters record, when a defendant as a party complaining on appeal, have an "obliantion" to bring forward record to sustain its conreations of effect, and if not done, my complaint could not be heard???
