Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Having thoroughly reviewed the instant record, we agree with the board’s findings of misconduct. We find the board’s recommendation appropriate. Therefore, we order that respondent be suspended from the practice of law in Ohio for one year. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J., Shannon, Holmes, Douglas and Wright, JJ., concur. H. Brown and Resnick, JJ., dissent. Raymond E. Shannon, 3., of the First Appellate District, sitting for Sweeney, J.

Dissenting Opinion

H. Brown, J.,

dissenting. In my opinion, the appropriate sanction in this cause should be a one-year suspension with six months of that period suspended.

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