The opinion

EDMONDS, J.,

Dissenting. The only dereliction of professional duty charged to the petitioner in the findings of fact made by the local administrative committee and adopted by the Board of Governors is that he neglected his client’s business. This finding, considered in connection with the committee’s conclusions stated in the form of a “recommendation,” certainly does not show any conduct which justifies disciplinary action under the rules heretofore laid down by this court. (Stephens v. State Bar, 19 Cal.2d 580 [ 122 P.2d 549 ]; Trusty v. State Bar, 16 Cal.2d 550 [ 107 P.2d 10 ]; Waterman v. State Bar, 8 Cal.2d 17 [ 63 P.2d 1133 ]; Marsh v. State Bar, 2 Cal.2d 75 [ 39 P.2d 403 ]; Marsh v. State Bar, 210 Cal. 303 [ 291 P. 583 ].) Accordingly, in my opinion, the proceeding should be dismissed.
