Text: This matter is before the Board on Professional Responsibility on the Hearing Committee's report finding that Respondent, in violation of DR 6-101(A)(3), neglected a legal matter entrusted to him. The Committee recommended suspension for 30 days as the appropriate sanction. Based on a review of the record as a whole, the Board concludes that the Hearing Committee's factual findings are supported by substantial evidence more than sufficient to satisfy the clear and convincing standard, and the Board therefore adopts those findings. See Board Rule 13.6. The Board also agrees with the Hearing Committee's conclusion that Respondent neglected a legal matter in violation of DR 6-101(A)(3) and that suspension for 30 days would be an appropriate sanction for the misconduct herein.
