As provided in section 13(A), the special judge shall hear all evidence relevant to the alleged misconduct and then make findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations of an appropriate sanction, and shall file them, along with a transcript and the record of the proceedings, with the Clerk of the Supreme Court.
We hereby appoint the Honorable John Lineberger as special judge to hear this matter and provide this court with his finding of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation of an appropriate sanction. Upon receipt of those items, we will render a decision in this matter.
