Cincinnati Bar Assn. v. Jackson

108 N.E.3d 78, 2018 Ohio 3777, 153 Ohio St. 3d 1479

Opinion

On February 12, 2018, the Board of Professional Conduct filed a final report in the office of the clerk of this court pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V(16), in which the board accepted the agreement entered into by relator, Cincinnati Bar Association, and respondent, Kory Akin Jackson. The agreement set forth the misconduct and the agreed, recommended sanction of a public reprimand. The board recommended that the agreement be accepted. The court issued an order waiving the issuance of a show-cause order, and this matter was submitted to the court on the report and record filed by the board.

It is hereby ordered by the court that the recommended sanction is rejected. It is further ordered that pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V(17)(D), this cause is remanded to the Board of Professional Conduct for further proceedings, including consideration of payment of full restitution and a more appropriate sanction based on this court's precedent. Proceedings before this court in this case are stayed until further order of this court. Costs to abide final determination of the case.
