THE FLORIDA BAR, Complainant,
v.
Isabel RODRIGUEZ, d/b/A ABc General Services, Respondent.
No. 69289.

Supreme Court of Florida.
July 16, 1987.
Joseph J. Reiter, President, West Palm Beach, Ray Ferrero, Jr., President-elect, Fort Lauderdale, John F. Harkness, Jr., Executive Director and John T. Berry, Staff Counsel, Tallahassee, Robert M. Sondak, Chairman, Standing Committee on Unlicensed Practice of Law, Miami, and Mary Ellen Bateman, UPL Counsel, Tallahassee, for complainant.
Lester Rogers, Miami, for respondent.
PER CURIAM.
This proceeding was initiated by The Florida Bar's filing of a petition charging respondent Isabel Rodriguez with engaging in the unauthorized practice of law. This Court issued an order commanding the respondent to show cause why she should not be enjoined from the unauthorized practice of law in the State of Florida. Following the issuance of the order to show cause, respondent submitted an answer to the Bar's petition. We then appointed a referee to hear the evidence and make a report to the Court.
After the entry of the order appointing the referee, the parties negotiated an agreement including a stipulation as to the facts and an agreed order for an injunction against the unauthorized practice of law. The agreement eliminated the necessity for a trial before the referee. The stipulated judgment and injunction were approved by the referee and have now been submitted to the Court for consideration. The stipulation reads as follows:
We find that the foregoing stipulation is appropriate in this case and therefore approve it. The agreed order of injunction is hereby adopted and the respondent Isabel Rodriguez is hereby permanently enjoined from the activities set forth in the stipulation above.
Judgment is entered against Isabel Rodriguez for costs in the amount of $525.32, for which sum let execution issue.
It is so ordered.
