Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This proceeding involves petitioner's use of her notary public commission to acknowledge the execu tion of a document when the person who signed the document did not appear before her when the document was executed. Mrs. Scott candidly admits that she did so. Even though the evidence is convincing that she was innocent of any ulterior motives or purposes, this is conduct that cannot go unnoticed. In re Monte E. Walter, 1967, 247 Or 13, 427 P2d 96. This is, therefore, a reprimand.
