Florida Bar v. Kates
Florida Bar v. Kates
Opinion of the Court
In this disciplinary proceeding the referee has filed with the Court his report recommending that respondent be found guilty of professional misconduct, suspended from the practice of law for a period of ninety days, and thereafter placed on probation for an additional period of six months under prescribed terms. Neither the Bar nor respondent has filed a petition for review.
We have examined the record and conclude that the referee’s findings are amply supported by clear and convincing evidence. In accordance with Integration Rule 11.-09(3)(f), we therefore approve and adopt the disciplinary recommendations of the referee.
It is so ordered.
The referee’s recommended procedure for the supervised probation, however, is slightly modified as reflected in this opinion.
Concurring in Part
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I concur in respondent’s ninety-day suspension from the practice of law, but I dissent to the six month supervised probation upon resumption of his practice.
