THE FLORIDA BAR, Complainant, v. Richard D. HAMRICK, Respondent.
    No. 65879.
    Supreme Court of Florida.
    Nov. 14, 1985.
    John F. Harkness, Jr., Executive Director and John T. Berry, Staff Counsel, Tallahassee, and David R. Ristoff, Bar Counsel, Tampa, for complainant.
    Richard D. Hamrick, in pro. per., Tampa.
   PER CURIAM.

The Florida Bar charged Hamrick, a member of the bar, with violating disciplinary rules 6-101(A)(3) (neglect of a legal matter) and 7-101(A)(l) (failure to seek the legal objectives of a client). Following a hearing on the matter, the referee recommended that Hamrick be found guilty of the above-listed charges and that he be given a public reprimand.

After reviewing the record, we agree with the referee’s recommendations. We therefore find Richard D. Hamrick guilty of violating disciplinary rules 6-101(A)(3) and 7-101(A)(l). Publication of this opinion in the Southern Reporter will serve as his public reprimand. Judgment for costs in the amount of $916.33 is hereby entered against Hamrick, for which sum let execution issue.

It is so ordered.

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