(No. 89-1237
Submitted November 8, 1989
Decided February 21, 1990.)
D. Michael Poast, Hollis A. Moore III, Constance A. Hill, Edwin W. Patterson III and W. Deems Clifton II, for relator.
James N. Perry, for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Respondent intended to, and for a short time did, thwart the administration of justice. He obtained and kept contraband which he knew the federal authorities, armed with a search warrant, sought. This is a serious crime. Therefore, we agree with the board's findings of fact and conclusions of law, but order that respondent be permanently disbarred. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Holmes,
Douglas, Wright and Resnick, JJ., concur.
H. Brown, J., dissents.
