Head Matter:
Mahoning County Bar Association v. Walsh.
(D.D. No. 80-21
Decided May 20, 1981.)
Mr. John DeFazio, for relator.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Upon examination and review of the record in this cause, we concur in the finding of the board that Walsh violated DR 6-101(A)(3) and DR 7-101(A)(2), but we are unable to concur in the sanction recommended by the board. A more severe sanction than public reprimand is warranted. It is ordered that John T. Walsh be suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year.
Judgment accordingly.
Celebrezze, C. J., W. Brown, Strausbaugh, Sweeney, Locher, Holmes and C. Brown, JJ., concur.
