Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Scuro
Ohio Supreme Court · Decided May 4, 1988 · Brown, Douglas, Holmes, Locher, Moyer, Sweeney, Wright
36 Ohio St. 3d 205; 522 N.E.2d 572; 1988 Ohio LEXIS 112

Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Scuro

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

This court adopts the factual findings of the board. We conclude, however, that the findings support a more severe sanction than recommended. Accordingly, respondent is hereby suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for six months for having violated DR 3-101(B). Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Locher, Holmes, Douglas and Wright, JJ., concur. H. Brown, J., dissents.

Dissenting Opinion

H. Brown, J.,

dissenting. Since the respondent was once disciplined in Texas for the conduct which is before us, I believe the sanction we should impose is a public reprimand as recommended by the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline of the Bar.
