Text: Respondent, James R. Gilmour, was admitted to the practice of law in the State of Nebraska on September 13, 1988, and at all times relevant hereto worked as a bank employee in Marshalltown, Iowa. Respondent is not actively engaged in the practice of law in Nebraska and has been an inactive member of the Nebraska State Bar Association since January 1, 1994. On September 23, 2003, amended formal charges were filed against respondent (formal charge). The formal charge sets forth a single count, including charges that the respondent violated the following provisions of the Code of Professional Responsibility: Canon 1, DR 1-102(A)(4) (engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation); and DR 1-102(A)(6) (engaging in conduct that adversely reflects on fitness to practice law). On December 16, 2003, respondent filed a conditional admission under Neb. Ct. R. of Discipline 13 (rev.2002), in which he knowingly did not challenge or contest the allegations that he violated DR 1-102(A)(4) and (6) and effectively waived all proceedings against him in connection therewith in exchange for a judgment of suspension for 2 years. Upon due consideration, the court approves the conditional admission and orders that respondent be suspended from the practice of law in the State of Nebraska for 2 years.
