[Cite as Disciplinary Counsel v. McElrath (1994), 71 Ohio St.3d 131.]
(No. 94-1866
Submitted October 11, 1994
Decided December 14, 1994.)
Geoffrey Stem, Disciplinary Counsel, and Sally Ann Steuk, Assistant Disciplinary Counsel, for relator.
J. Michael Drain, for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We agree that respondent committed the disciplinary violations found by the board. While we agree with the two-year suspension and conditions recommended by the board, we stay only one year of said suspension, and thereafter place respondent on a one-year monitored probation. The conditions, as recommended by the board, shall apply during the full two-year suspension and probationary period. If respondent violates any of the conditions outlined by the board during the period of his probation, the two-year term of suspension will be automatically reimposed. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Moyer, C.J., A.W. Sweeney, Douglas, Wright, Resnick, F.E. Sweeney and Pfeifer, JJ., concur.
