Opinion for the court

PER CURIAM.

Concurring opinion by Judge FARRELL, with whom TERRY, Associate Judge, joins, at page 3.

Separate statement by Judge SULLIVAN at page-.

PER CURIAM:

This disciplinary matter is before the court on the report and recommendation of the Board on Professional Responsibility (the Board), to which respondent and Bar Counsel concur, that the reciprocal case against appellant should be dismissed. The factual and procedural history of this matter are set forth in the Report and Recommendation of the Board, which we incorporate by reference and attach hereto as an appendix. Three members of the Board dissented in a separate opinion which is also attached.

We review the Board’s recommendation in accordance with D.C.App.R. XI, § 9(g) (1993), which provides, in part, as follows:

the Court shall accept the findings of fact made by the Board unless they are unsupported by substantial evidence of record, and shall adopt the recommended disposition of the Board unless to do so would foster a tendency toward inconsistent dispositions for comparable conduct or would otherwise be unwarranted.

Id. See also In re Hutchinson, 534 A.2d 919, 924 (D.C.1987). Substantially for the reasons set forth in the report, we conclude that the Board’s findings are supported by substantial evidence in the record and that the Board’s recommendation is appropriate. Accordingly, the disciplinary proceedings commenced against Arthur M. Reynolds, Jr. are hereby dismissed.

So ordered.
