Opinion:
Per curiam.
Raymond J. Peery has petitioned for voluntary suspension of his license to practice law pending appeal.

He further admits that his conviction constitutes a violation of Standard 66 of State Bar Rule 4-102 (d). The special master recommends that we accept Peery's petition and suspend his license to practice law pending termination of the appeal of his conviction. We adopt the special master's recommendation and grant the petition for voluntary suspension pending appeal.
