PER CURIAM.
This disciplinary proceeding by The Florida Bar against Eric A. Rodriguez, a member of The Florida Bar, is presently before us on complaint of The Florida Bar and report of referee. Pursuant to article XI, Rule 11.06(9)(b) of the Integration Rule of the Florida Bar, the referee's report and record were duly filed with this Court. No petition for review pursuant to Integration Rule of The Florida Bar 11.09(1) has been filed.
Having considered the pleadings and evidence, the referee found as follows:
The referee recommends that respondent be found guilty of violating Disciplinary Rules 1-102(A)(4), 1-102(A)(6), 6-101(A)(3), 9-102(B)(1) and 9-102(B)(4) of the Code of Professional Responsibility and that respondent be disbarred.
Having carefully reviewed the record, we approve the findings and recommendations of the referee.
Accordingly, respondent, Eric A. Rodriguez, is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Florida effective July 14, 1986, thereby giving respondent thirty (30) days to close out his practice and take the necessary steps to protect his clients. Respondent shall accept no new business from the date of this opinion.
Judgment for costs in the amount of $576.00 is hereby entered against respondent, for which sum let execution issue.
It is so ordered.
ADKINS, Acting C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD, EHRLICH and SHAW, JJ., concur.
