Matter of Zaleon

494 S.E.2d 669, 268 Ga. 900, 98 Fulton County D. Rep. 310, 1998 Ga. LEXIS 44

Opinions

Per curiam.

It appears that Ruth A. Zaleon waived her right to file a Notice of Rejection of the State Bar’s Notice of Discipline and consented to the Investigative Panel’s recommendation of a public reprimand for her violation of Standard 65 (A) of Bar Rule 4-102 (d). This Court concludes, however, that a public reprimand is an inadequate sanction. See, e.g., In the Matter of Thomson, 266 Ga. 157, 158 (1) (464 SE2d 818) (1996); In the Matter of Peek, 257 Ga. 349, 350 (359 SE2d 677) (1987); In the Matter of Antinoro, 253 Ga. 296 (319 SE2d 460) (1984). Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that this disciplinary action be remanded to the Investigative Panel for further action. Rule 4-208.1 (b) (3); In the Matter of Yarbrough, 264 Ga. 720, 721 (450 SE2d 414) (1994).

Remanded.

All the Justices concur, except Fletcher, P. J., and Sears, J., who dissent.
