Opinion of the Court

Those two charges involve respondent’s failure to respond or report to petitioner, which had requested information from him concerning his alleged handling of two matters. The matters mder investigation by petitioner were minor in nature but respond*123ent’s reasons for failing to eo-operate are not acceptable under the circumstances.
