Close window. The privilege to drive is often taken for granted, but you may lose this privilege for a variety of reasons. The law requires the Secretary of State to automatically suspend or revoke your driver's license for certain violations. The action taken against your driver's license will depend on several factors, including the type of violation or unsafe driving behavior involved, your driving record, and your willingness to comply with assessment recommendations and requirements.

Licensing actions range from restrictions to revocations. The most serious action is a revocation, defined in MCL The driver is only eligible to reapply to the department for license restoration after the expiration of one year following a first revocation, and after the expiration of five years for a subsequent revocation if convicted within seven years of a prior revocation.

Wechsler had worked not for the Navajo Nation itself but for an outfit called DNA, a nonprofit legal aid organization, in the s, according to information provided by the Administrative Office of the Courts in Much of the discussion during oral arguments on the disciplinary action centered on the language Marshall used in his pleading. Vargas said Marshall implied Wechsler intentionally concealed his relationship with the Navajo Nation, ignored the law and "fixed" the case in favor of his former clients.

The Supreme Court's Disciplinary Panel stated in written findings, adopted by the court, Marshall's conduct "was intentional and threatened serious harm to the integrity of the legal system" as well as causing a distraction and delay in the case. Marshall's attorney Jeff Baker told the court his client's word choice may have been poor but he was merely being a zealous advocate on behalf of his clients — a group of Northern New Mexico water districts — and shouldn't be disciplined for asking for the case to be stayed while he investigated "rumors" he'd heard around the Legislature about Wechsler's previously undisclosed relationship with the Navajo Nation.

Marshall said his words — particularly a passage in which he said the public might wonder whether Wechsler had fixed the case — were being misconstrued and he'd carefully chosen the language to comport with a rule that requires judges to disqualify themselves when their impartiality might "reasonably" be questioned. The disciplinary panel disagreed, noting in written findings "an objectively reasonable person would not 'wonder whether' Judge Wechsler 'fixed the case' in favor of the Navajo Nation based upon his work as a staff attorney for DNA legal Services roughly forty-five years prior.

The panel had originally contemplated disciplining Marshall via a public censure, according to written findings, but decided his lack of contrition warranted a harsher penalty. Marshall — who has represented The New Mexican — will be eligible to request reinstatement of his license after one year, according to the Supreme Court's order.

But he first must complete four hours of continuing education credits and take the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination and pass with a score of at least 80 before doing so, according to the order.
