How later courts described this case
- an attorney was permanently disbarred after being convicted of obstruction of justice for obtaining and keeping a client’s contraband to prevent discovery by federal authorities
Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Per Curiam.
Respondent intended to, and for a short time did, thwart the administration of justice. He obtained and kept contraband which he knew the federal authorities, armed with a search warrant, sought. This is a *67 serious crime. Therefore, we agree with the board’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, but order that respondent be permanently disbarred. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Holmes,
Douglas, Wright and Resnick, JJ., concur.
H. Brown, J., dissents.
