Text: On June 17, 2005, the chairperson of the Committee on Inquiry of the Second Disciplinary District filed an application pursuant to Neb. Ct. R. of Discipline 12 (rev. 2002), requesting this court to temporarily suspend respondent from the practice of law. The application was supported by the affidavit of Kent L. Frobish, Assistant Counsel for Discipline. Frobish averred that after receiving a copy of the referee's report summarized above, respondent sent letters to the president of the Nebraska State Bar Association, an attorney representing J.N., and the Counsel for Discipline which violated Canon 4, DR 4-101B(1), and DR 1-102(A)(5), and adversely reflected on his fitness to practice law in violation of DR 1-102(A)(6). Copies of the letters were attached to the affidavit. This court entered an order requiring respondent to show cause why his license to practice law should not be temporarily suspended based upon the allegations set forth in the application. In his response, respondent stated that he had done nothing that will cause serious damage to the public or to the legal profession. Finding this response inadequate, we entered an order on July 13, 2005, temporarily suspending respondent's license to practice law in this state until further order of the court.
