And the Office of Attorney Ethics and respondent having signed a stipulation of discipline by consent in which it was agreed that respondent violated RPC 1.15(a)(commingling of client trust and personal funds), RPC 1.15(b) (failing to promptly notify clients of receipt of funds to which they are entitled and failure to promptly disburse those funds), and RPC 1.15(d)(recordkeeping violations);

And the parties having agreed that respondent's conduct violated RPC 1.15(a), RPC 1.15(b) and RPC 1.15(d), and that said conduct warrants a censure or lesser discipline;
