ATTORNEY DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS

The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) commenced an investigation into allegations that respondent failed to timely notify a third party of his receipt of funds and failed to properly remit funds which the third party was entitled to receive. Prior to the filing of formal charges, respondent and the ODC submitted a joint petition for consent discipline, in which respondent admits that his conduct violated Rule 1.15(b) of the Rules of Professional Conduct. Having reviewed the petition for consent discipline,

IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Consent Discipline be accepted and that
