respondent’s compliance with the terms of probation; on February 8, 2001, relator 
filed its response; and on March 30, 2001, respondent filed a reply to relator’s 
response.  Upon consideration thereof, the court finds that respondent has 
substantially complied with Gov.Bar R. V(9)(D), and with its order dated August 
28, 1996, in which respondent was suspended for six months, with the suspension 
stayed on condition and respondent be placed on probation for one year, or until
