Submitted June 24, 1998
Decided December 9, 1998.)
Vorys, Sater, Seymour & Pease, Julia A. Davis and Ivery D. Foreman-, and Bruce A. Campbell, for relator.
Chester, Willcox & Saxbe, L.L.P., and J. Craig Wright, for respondent King. Samuel Pope, pro se.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We have reviewed the record and adopt the findings and conclusions of the board. However, we disagree with the board's recommenda tions. We suspend King for one-year and stay the suspension on condition that, during the probation period, he work with a mentor appointed by relator. We suspend Pope for six months and stay the suspension. Costs taxed to respondents.
Judgment accordingly.

Lundberg Stratton, J., concurs as to Pope but dissents as to King and joins the Chief Justice's dissent only as to King.
Moyer, C.J., and Cook, J., dissent.
