Submitted on the record August 11, 1998. Resubmitted November 25, 1998. Marc D. Blackman, of Ransom Blackman, Portland, for applicant. Jeffrey D. Sapiro, Disciplinary Counsel, Lake Oswego, for the Oregon State Bar. That suspension will expire on February 18, 1999.
Applicant seeks early reinstatement.
We therefore reinstate him. However, the court found that the record in Allen was insufficient to determine, at that time, whether applicant was entitled to receive credit for any time that he had spent in a voluntary and complete withdrawal from the practice of law pending completion of the disciplinary proceeding in his case. Shortly thereafter, applicant filed a formal application for reinstatement. After conducting its investigation, the Board recommended applicant's reinstatement on character and fitness grounds, but submitted to this court the question whether applicant is entitled to any credit against the term of his suspension for time that he spent in a voluntary and complete withdrawal from the practice of law. The court referred the matter to the Bar for a hearing before its Disciplinary Board.
