On October 14, 2013, the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline filed a final report in the office of the clerk of this court pursuant to BCGD Proc.Reg. 11(D), in which the board accepted the agreement entered into by relator, disciplinary counsel, and respondent, Harland Hanna Hale. The agreement set forth the misconduct and the agreed recommended sanction of a six-month suspension from the practice of law. The board recommended that the agreement be accepted.

V(8)(D), this cause is remanded to the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline for further proceedings, including consideration of a more severe sanction. Proceedings before this court in this case are stayed until further order of this court. Costs to abide final determination of the case.
