And the Office of Attorney Ethics and respondent having signed a stipulation of discipline by consent in which it was agreed that respondent violated RPC 1.15(a) (negligent misappropriation of escrow funds), and the provisions of RPC 1.15(d) and Rule 1:21-6 (recordkeeping deficiencies);
And the parties having agreed that respondent's conduct violated RPC 1.15(a), RPC 1.15(d) and Rule 1:21-6, and that said conduct warrants a reprimand;

And the Disciplinary Review Board having submitted the record of the proceedings to the Clerk of the Supreme Court for the entry of an order of discipline in accordance with Rule l:20-16(e);
And the Court having ordered respondent to show cause why the Court should accept the discipline by consent or why the Court should not take other action as it deems appropriate;

And good cause appearing;

ORDERED that the entire record of this matter be made a permanent part of respondent's file as an attorney at law of this State; and it is further
