## Opinion text

SIMMS, Justice,
dissenting:
In light of Respondent’s previous disciplinary problems which date back to 1981, and because his cooperation with the Professional Responsibility Tribunal is described as “less than total”, I would suspend Respondent from the practice of law for a period of three (3) years.
I am authorized to state that Chief Justice OPALA and Justice HARGRAVE join me in the views expressed herein.
