Text: On February 1, 1993 Dosch was appointed executor of the Frances Lee estate. Prior to her death, Lee was a resident of the Devils Lake Good Samaritan Center and owed rent to the Center for December 1992 and January 1993. In April 1993, Lee's insurance company paid $1,467 to Dosch for payment of the December rent. Dosch deposited the money into his office trust account on May 5, 1993. However, the rent was not paid to the Center until after an employee telephoned Dosch in September 1993 requesting payment. During that telephone conversation, Dosch lied, stating that he had just received payment from the insurance company for the rent. The hearing panel found Dosch had failed to promptly deliver the rent monies to the Good Samaritan Center received by him from the insurance company and had misrepresented his receipt of those funds, in violation of the North Dakota Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 and the North Dakota Procedural Rules for Lawyer Disability and Discipline 1.2(A)(3).
