## Opinion text

Lanzinger, J.,
dissenting.
{¶ 35} I respectfully dissent and would impose an indefinite suspension in this ease. A two-year suspension with one year stayed is insufficient when the presumptive sanction is disbarment for misappropriation of client funds. See Cincinnati Bar Assn. v. Rothermel, 104 Ohio St.3d 413 , 2004-Ohio-6559 , 819 N.E.2d 1099, ¶ 18 .
O’Connor, C.J., concurs in the foregoing opinion.
