IN THE MATTER OF RUTH A. ZALEON.
(494 SE2d 669)

Opinion:
Per curiam.
It appears that Ruth A. Zaleon waived her right to file a Notice of Rejection of the State Bar's Notice of Discipline and consented to the Investigative Panel's recommendation of a public reprimand for her violation of Standard 65 (A) of Bar Rule 4-102 (d). This Court concludes, however, that a public reprimand is an inadequate sanction. See, e.g., In the Matter of Thomson, 266 Ga. 157, 158 (1) (464 SE2d 818) (1996); In the Matter of Peek, 257 Ga. 349, 350 (359 SE2d 677) (1987); In the Matter of Antinoro, 253 Ga. 296 (319 SE2d 460) (1984). Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that this disciplinary action be remanded to the Investigative Panel for further action. Rule 4-208.1 (b) (3); In the Matter of Yarbrough, 264 Ga. 720, 721 (450 SE2d 414) (1994).
Remanded.
All the Justices concur, except Fletcher, P. J., and Sears, J., who dissent.
