a.  Count one.  Count one concerned the respondent's representation of a client in a bankruptcy proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts (bankruptcy court).  After the respondent filed, on behalf of his client, a voluntary petition pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the bankruptcy trustee filed a motion to convert the case to one under Chapter 7 of the code or, alternatively, to dismiss the case (motion to convert or dismiss).  The respondent opposed the motion and filed, as well, a motion for sanctions against a bank, claiming that the bank had violated an automatic stay (motion for sanctions).  A judge denied the motion for sanctions and issued a show cause order directing the respondent to show cause why he should not be sanctioned for violating Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9011.[3]  Essentially, the show cause order stated that the respondent had misstated the law in both the opposition to the motion to convert or dismiss and the motion for sanctions and had cited as authority cases that did not support his claims.
