Cuyahoga County Bar Ass'n v. Berger

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Relator’s motion is well taken. Our opinion at 64 Ohio St.3d 454, 455, 597 N.E.2d 81, 82, is hereby modified to read as follows:

“ * * * The record reflects that the charges of misconduct arose from respondents’ representation of Daniel Gurish in connection with his claim for wrongful discharge as a Cuyahoga County deputy sheriff under Section 1983, Title 42, U.S.Code. Respondents obtained a judgment in favor of Gurish and against Cuyahoga County Sheriff McFaul in the amount of $100,000. Thereafter, pursuant to Section 1988, Title 42, U.S.Code, respondents moved for an award of attorney fees. The issue of attorney fees was settled by McFaul’s payment of $30,000. At Gurish’s urging, respondents accepted a total settlement ‘package’ of $130,000.”

In all other respects, said opinion is hereby ratified and affirmed.

Judgment accordingly.

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