Text: As stated previously, these cases were consolidated by the KBA Board of Governors for consideration. Prior discipline of Mr. Vescio was considered. This included a private admonition in February of 2005 for lack of diligence and adequate communication with his client. A roll call vote was taken as to the discipline to be administered based on the findings of facts in the three KBA files set forth hereinabove. The vote was to recommend that Mr. Vescio be permanently disbarred and the matter regarding Ms. Boger's bond money be referred to the Commonwealth's Attorney's office. The vote was as follows, with none abstaining from the vote: Permanent Disbarment with referral to the Commonwealth's Attorney: 11 Five-year suspension and restitution of Ms. Boger's $11,000.00: 10 Therefore, the Kentucky Bar Association recommended to this Court that the Mr. Vescio be permanently disbarred from the practice of law, and that the matter regarding the misappropriation of Ms. Boger's money be referred to the Commonwealth's Attorney. After careful consideration of the relevant facts and the KBA's recommendations, this Court orders that Mr. Vescio be permanently disbarred from the practice of law and the matter regarding Ms. Boger's bond money be referred to the Commonwealth's Attorney's office. Thus, it is ordered that: 1) Mr. Vescio is permanently disbarred from the practice of law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, effective immediately upon entry of this order; 2) The matter regarding Ms. Boger's $11,000.00 be referred to the Commonwealth's Attorney's office; and 3) Mr. Vescio shall pay the certification of costs in the amounts of $109.09, $97.57 and $97.93, totaling $304.59 for which execution may issue from this Court upon finality of the Opinion and Order. All concur. ENTERED: April 20, 2006 /s/ Joseph E. Lambert Chief Justice
