Opinion
William Douglas Morton, a member of the State Bar of Georgia, has petitioned the State Disciplinary Board for voluntary suspension of his license to practice law on the ground of his conviction in the DeKalb County Superior Court for a felony involving moral turpitude and constituting grounds for disbarment under Standard 66 of Rule 4-102 of Part IV, Chapter 1 of the State Bar Rules.
Pursuant to State Bar Rule 4-106, a lawyer convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude may be suspended from the practice of law until all appeal rights have terminated. The court, pursuant to State Bar Rule 4-106, and upon the recommendation of the Special Master, accepts Mr. Morton’s petition for voluntary suspension from the practice of law pending the termination of his appeal in DeKalb County Superior Court.
Voluntary suspension of license is accepted.
