People v. Murray

Original Proceeding in Discipline EN BANC A hearing panel of the supreme court grievance committee approved the findings and recommendation of a hearing board that the respondent be publicly censured, that he make certain restitution, and be assessed the costs of the proceeding. The assistant disciplinary counsel has excepted to the panel's recommendation as too lenient, and the respondent has not filed an answer brief. We agree with the assistant disciplinary counsel that the respondent's misconduct warrants a period of suspension. We therefore order that the respondent be suspended from the practice of law for thirty days, be required to make certain restitution prior to reinstatement, and be assessed costs. I.
