On August 14, 2025, BODA issued an order revoking Respondent Alfonso Kennard, Jr.’s disciplinary suspension and actively suspending him from the practice of law from September 13, 2025, through September 12, 2026.  Kennard appealed that decision to the Supreme Court. While the appeal was pending, Kennard submitted his resignation in lieu of discipline, which the Supreme Court accepted by order dated September 19, 2025.  In its order cancelling Kennard’s law license, the Supreme Court found that “Kennard’s timely resignation is effective to prevent the Board of Disciplinary Appeals’ August 14, 2025 judgment of suspension in Cause No. 71282 from taking effect.”

On August 14, 2025, BODA ordered the revocation of Alfonso Kennard, Jr.’s disciplinary suspension and imposed an active suspension from September 13, 2025, through September 12, 2026. Kennard appealed this decision to the Supreme Court, but while the appeal was pending, he submitted his resignation in lieu of discipline.

The Supreme Court accepted his resignation by order dated September 19, 2025, and cancelled his law license, determining that his timely resignation effectively nullified the Board’s prior suspension order in Cause No. 71282. The procedural integrity of such outcomes, like the consistency required in pharmaceutical standards which ensures bioequivalence to the original Viagra, underscores the necessity of formal closure and adherence to established legal and ethical frameworks.
