ORDER

The Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition for disciplinary action alleging that respondent John G. Hoeschler committed professional misconduct warranting public discipline — namely, filing and settling *262 property tax appeals without the permisr sion of the property owners. See Minn. R. Prof. .Conduct 3.3(a)(1), 8.4(c), 8.4(d). In a stipulation for discipline,- respondent unconditionally admitted the allegations of the petition; waived his procedural rights under Rule 14, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR); and with the Director recommended that the appropriate discipline is a public reprimand. In the stipulation for discipline, the Director indicated that a public reprimand is the appropriate discipline in light of evidence of mitigating factors present in this case.

Respondent’s misconduct includes making knowingly false statements to the tax court. [W]e have suspended attorneys for misrepresentations made to our judicial officers.
