The opinion

Per Curiam.

This court finds that respondent violated the Disciplinary Rules indicated by the board. However, we find the sanction recommended was not appropriate when compared to the misconduct committed. Accordingly, respondent is hereby ordered indefinitely suspended from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Locher, Holmes, Douglas and H. Brown, JJ., concur.

Wright, J., dissents.
