The California judge who issued John Eastman’s disbarment recommendation has denied the retired law professor a reprieve in the form of a stay that would have allowed him to pay off his mounting legal bills by practicing law.

The brief Wednesday order from State Bar Court Judge Yvette D. Roland, citing the “gravity of Eastman’s transgressions, particularly those involving moral turpitude, and the increased likelihood of future misconduct due to his refusal to acknowledge any wrongdoing,” declined to pause the Jan. 6 “coup memo” author’s “mandatory” inactive enrollment as Eastman appeals Roland’s determination he violated 10 of the 11 attorney misconduct counts he faced.
