WHEREAS, the respondent has waived his right to answer the petition and unconditionally admits the allegations of the petition, has waived his rights pursuant to Rule 14, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility and has entered into a stipulation with the Director wherein he acknowledges that, based on his admitted conduct, the Director will recommend disbarment and in which he agrees to the imposition and payment of $900 in costs; and

WHEREAS, this court has independently reviewed the record and agrees that the recommended disbarment is the appropriate discipline,
