In Re: Discipline of Robert Beckett

Opinion

SCR 111(4) provides, in pertinent part: Upon being advised that an attorney subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the supreme court has been convicted of a misdemeanor involving the use of alcohol or a controlled substance and the offense is not the attorney's first such offense, bar counsel shall investigate and present the matter to the appropriate panel of the disciplinary board prior to the filing of the petition. The petition shall be accompanied by the panel's recommendation regarding the appropriate disciplinary action, if any, to be imposed under these or any other rules of the supreme court that pertain to the conduct of attorneys.

The petition indicates that a screening panel of the Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board "reviewed this matter and directed that it proceed to a formal hearing and be consolidated with any other pending formal hearing matters" involving Beckett. We approve the panel's recommendation to the extent that we refer this matter to the appropriate panel of the state bar disciplinary board for consolidation with any other matters involving Beckett and determination of the .discipline, if any, to impose. We decline to impose a temporary suspension at this time.

It is so ORDERED. 2
