ORDER OF SUSPENSION AND REFERRAL TO DISCIPLINARY BOARD

This is a petition under SCR 111 concerning attorney Delmar Hardy, based on a federal conviction for three counts of filing a false tax return, a felony in violation of 26 U.S.C. § 7206.' The felony conviction constitutes a "serious crime" under SCR 111(6). When an attorney has been convicted of a "serious crime," we are required to suspend the attorney and refer him to the appropriate disciplinary board for a hearing before a hearing panel to determine the extent of the discipline to be imposed, if any, based on the conviction. SCR 111(7), (8). Accordingly, we refer this matter to the Northern Nevada Disciplinary Board and suspend attorney Delmar Hardy from the practice of law in Nevada pending final disposition of the disciplinary proceeding. The parties shall comply with SCR 115 and 121.1. It is so ORDERED.
