In view of the recommendation of the Review Panel that Respondent be allowed to surrender his license to practice law, it is directed that he be allowed to surrender his license. Before any reinstatement petition is granted, he must comply with the reinstatement rules in effect at such time.

Application for voluntary surrender of license is granted.

All the Justices concur.
