                              ORDER DECLINING TO IMPOSE TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
                                      This is a petition under SCR 111 concerning attorney James
                          Colin, based on a conviction for battery, a misdemeanor in violation of
                          NRS 200.481. Cohn self-reported the conviction to the State Bar as
                          required by SCR 111(2). Because the conviction is not for a "serious
                          crime" as defined in SCR 111(6), temporary suspension and referral for
                          disciplinary proceedings are not mandatory. SCR 111(7), (8). Having
                          considered the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude that
                          Colin's offense is a minor one that does not warrant the imposition of a
                          temporary suspension or referral to a disciplinary board at this time.         See
                          SCR 111(9). 1
                                      It is so ORDERED.

                                 'Colin filed three motions that collectively sought to disqualify all
                          sitting members of this court. He subsequently filed a motion to withdraw
                          the disqualification motions. The motion to withdraw, filed on July 6,
                          2016, is granted.
