Cincinnati Bar Ass'n v. Joseph
Cincinnati Bar Ass'n v. Joseph
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. I respectfully dissent. The board concluded that respondent be suspended for two years and that he be granted credit for time already served. I agree with the recommendation of the board. I would suspend respondent for two years and give credit for the time he has already served pursuant to our indefinite suspension of respondent on May 3, 1989. The majority decision gives no assurance that respondent will be readmitted upon application. See Disciplinary Counsel v. Bell (1988), 39 Ohio St. 3d 276, 530 N.E. 2d 404. Because I do not agree with the judgment of the majority, I dissent.
Opinion of the Court
We have reviewed the evidence, findings, and recommendations. We modify the sanction recommended by the board. Accordingly, we indefinitely suspend respondent from the practice of law and tax costs to him. He may petition for reinstatement, under Gov. Bar R. V(25), two years after his indefinite suspension that was effective May 3, 1989.
Judgment accordingly.
