Per Curiam.
We agree with the board's findings and recommendation as modified. Accordingly, we suspend respondent from the practice of law in Ohio for two years; however, the final six months of that suspension are suspended and respondent is to be placed on monitored probation under the following conditions effective during suspension and probation: that respondent attend Alcoholics Anonymous and/or the Lawyers Assistance Program as appropriate, on a regular basis, with compliance to be verified by relator; that he submit to random alcohol testing to be monitored by relator; and that he maintain the necessary continuing legal education requirements. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
