Head Matter:
THE FLORIDA BAR, Complainant, v. John S. MATTHEWS, Respondent.
No. 45140.
Supreme Court Of Florida,
June 12, 1974.
Gerald R. Herms, Tampa, of the Bar Counsel, for complainant.
John S. Matthews, in pro. per.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We have for review a report of the referee in this disciplinary action in which it is recommended that respondent, John S. Matthews, receive a public reprimand.
After reading the briefs, examining the record and having heard oral argument, we do not feel even a private reprimand is justified. Therefore, the complaint is hereby dismissed and costs of these proceedings shall be borne by The Florida Bar.
It is so ordered.
ADKINS, C. J., and BOYD, McCAIN, DEKLE and OVERTON, JJ., concur.
