The Florida Bar v. Quittner

Supreme Court of Florida
Nov 14, 1985
478 So. 2d 818 (Fla. 1985)

Opinion

No. 67327.

November 14, 1985.

Original Proceeding; The Florida Bar.

John F. Harkness, Jr., Executive Director and John T. Berry, Staff Counsel, Tallahassee, and Richard B. Liss, Bar Counsel, Fort Lauderdale, for complainant.

Robert L. Spector, Fort Lauderdale, for respondent.


Upon the filing of the consent judgment and petition for approval of consent judgment, this Court appointed a referee to conduct a hearing regarding Quittner's alleged misconduct. The consent judgment acknowledges his violation of Florida Bar Code of Professional Responsibility, Disciplinary Rules 1-102(A)(1), 1-102(A)(6), 4-101(B)(1), (2) and (3), and 7-101(A)(3). The referee recommended that Quittner be found guilty in accordance with his consent judgment and that he receive a public reprimand by publication in Southern Reporter and through a personal appearance before the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar.

We feel it unnecessary to publish the full text of the plea. The Court file is open for inspection.

Neither side contests the referee's report which we hereby adopt. Publication of this opinion in Southern Reporter and respondent's personal appearance before the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar shall serve as the public reprimand.

Judgment for costs in the amount of $300.00 is hereby entered against respondent, for which sum let execution issue.

It is so ordered.

ADKINS, Acting C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD, EHRLICH and SHAW, JJ., concur.
