## Opinion text

CARTER, J.
I dissent.
In my opinion the evidence is insufficient to show any misconduct on the part of petitioner or that he violated the rules of professional conduct of the State Bar of California in any respect, and I would, therefore, dismiss the entire proceeding against him.
Petitioner’s application for a rehearing was denied August 28, 1952. Carter, J., was of the opinion that the petition should be granted.
