Opinion of the Court

The Disciplinary Review Board having filed with the Court its decision in DRB 17-336, concluding that Michael R.

And Michael R. Speck having been ordered to show cause why he should not be disbarred or otherwise disciplined;

And good cause appearing;

It is ORDERED that Michael R. Speck is hereby reprimanded; and it is further

ORDERED that the charge of violation of RPC 8.4(c) is hereby dismissed; and it is further
