CRICHTON, J., dissents and assigns reasons hi disagree with the majority’s imposition of a three-year suspension in this matter, as I find respondent’s conduct, coupled with her lack of cooperation with and flippancy towards her disciplinary proceedings (a violation of, La. RPC Rule 8.1(c) itself), .warrants' disbarment. The committee and the board in this instance determined the baseline sanction is disbarment, and I find there is scant support for any downward departure from that recommendation. Not only are the aggravating factors in this case serious, but both the committee and the board found zero mitigating factors in respondent’s case. For these reasons, I would impose disbarment.
