Text: The Hearing Committee correctly noted that the misconduct underlying both the DR 2-110(A)(2) and the DR 9-103(B)(4) charges was the same. The Committee did not reach the question whether Respondent's conduct constituted violations of DR 9-103(B)(4) because it was of the view that its finding would not affect its recommendation as to sanction. While the Board agrees that the sanction is not affected, it is clear that Respondent's conduct violated DR 9-103(B)(4) as well as DR 2-110(A)(2). See In re Waller, 524 A.2d 748 (D.C.1987).
