Having carefully reviewed the record, we approve the findings and recommendations of the referee.
Accordingly, respondent, Kimberly Bar-enz, is hereby suspended from The Florida Bar for a period of thirty (30) days effective November 11, 1985, thereby giving her thirty (30) days to close out her practice and take the necessary steps to protect her clients.
