Florida Bar v. Matthews

Florida Bar v. Matthews
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided June 12, 1974 · Adkins, Boyd, Dekle, McCain, Overton
296 So. 2d 31; 1974 Fla. LEXIS 3815 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Florida Bar v. Matthews

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We have for review a report of the referee in this disciplinary action in which it is recommended that respondent, John S. Matthews, receive a public reprimand.

After reading the briefs, examining the record and having heard oral argument, we do not feel even a private reprimand is justified. Therefore, the complaint is hereby dismissed and costs of these proceedings shall be borne by The Florida Bar.

It is so ordered.

ADKINS, C. J., and BOYD, McCAIN, DEKLE and OVERTON, JJ., concur.
