Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Upon careful review and consideration of the evidence, this court concurs in the finding of the board that respondent violated Canon 7A(1)(b) of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and concurs in the recommendation that respondent be given a public reprimand.

Therefore, it is the judgment of this court that respondent be given a public reprimand.

Judgment accordingly.

W. Brown, Sweeney, C. Brown and J. P. Celebrezze, JJ., concur. Celebrezze, C.J., dissents. Locher and Holmes, JJ., dissent separately.

Dissenting Opinion

Holmes, J.,

dissenting. I do not believe that the actions of respondent rise to a violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and would therefore dismiss the complaint.

Locher, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
