The Florida Bar v. Rightmyer

Supreme Court of Florida
May 22, 1986
488 So. 2d 532 (Fla. 1986)

Opinion

No. 67541.

May 22, 1986.

Original Proceeding — The Florida Bar.

John F. Harkness, Jr., Executive Director and John T. Berry, Staff Counsel, Tallahassee, and David R. Ristoff, Bar Counsel, Tampa, for complainant.

Richard T. Earle, Jr., St. Petersburg, for respondent.


Upon a complaint by The Florida Bar this Court appointed a referee to conduct a hearing regarding Rightmyer's alleged misconduct. Rightmyer tendered a conditional guilty plea for consent judgment, acknowledging his violation of Florida Bar Code of Professional Responsibility, Disciplinary Rules 1-102(A)(4) and 6-101(A)(3). The referee recommended that Rightmyer be found guilty in accordance with his conditional plea and that he be given a public reprimand.

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 will serve as the public reprimand.

Judgment for costs in the amount of $648.54 is hereby entered against respondent, for which sum let execution issue.

It is so ordered.

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