How later courts described this case

Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Wright, J.,
dissenting. The facts in this case indicate that respondent participated in — indeed, he was the driving force behind — a $200,000 illegal drug deal. Therefore, I believe that permanent disbarment would be a more appropriate sanction.
