ORDER

The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent Benjamin Adam Warpeha committed professional misconduct warranting public discipline, namely, making false statements regarding his criminal history while under oath during voir dire as a potential juror in a felony criminal matter, in violation of Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 8.4(c) and (d). Respondent waives his procedural rights under Rule 14, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR), and unconditionally admits the allegations of the disciplinary petition. The parties jointly recommend that the appropriate discipline is a 60-day suspension from the practice of law.

The court has independently reviewed the file and approves the recommended disposition.
