conclusively establishes Christopherson's conviction of serious crimes warranting a temporary suspension. 2 See SCR 111(1), (6), (7).

Accordingly, we temporarily suspend Christopherson from the practice of law and refer this matter to the Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board for the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings in which the sole issue to be determined is the extent of discipline to be imposed. See SCR 111(8).

It is so ORDERED.

2 Christopherson has filed a letter indicating that he does not oppose a temporary suspension "pending resolution of [his] appeal." The letter also appears to briefly address the merits of Christopherson's federal appeal and express difficulties he is having addressing his legal matters from prison. To the extent that Christopherson's letter requests any relief related to his federal appeal or his incarceration, we note that this proceeding is not the appropriate forum to address such concerns, and we will take no further action with respect to the letter filed on June 5, 2013.
