Opinion

No. 67989.

March 6, 1986.

Original Proceeding — The Florida Bar.

John F. Harkness, Jr., Executive Director and John T. Berry, Staff Counsel, Tallahassee and Paul A. Gross, Bar Counsel, Miami, for complainant.

Harris Sperber, Miami, for respondent.


This disciplinary proceeding is before us on complaint of The Florida Bar, respondent's conditional guilty plea for consent judgment, and the uncontested report of the referee. Respondent tendered a guilty plea acknowledging his violation of The Florida Bar Code of Professional Responsibility Disciplinary Rules 1-102(A)(6) (conduct adversely reflecting on fitness to practice law) and 6-101(A)(3) (neglect of a legal matter entrusted to him). The referee recommended that respondent be found guilty in accordance with his plea and receive a public reprimand.

We approve the referee's findings and recommendation. The publication of this opinion in Southern Reporter shall serve as respondent's reprimand. Judgment for costs in the amount of $737.18 is hereby entered against respondent, for which sum let execution issue.

It is so ordered.

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