IN THE MATTER OF PERRY12/4/1998
est that the Office of General Counsel of the State Bar of Georgia review its records concerning him (he must obtain certification from the Office of General Counsel that, based on its review, he has engaged in no conduct which would make him a danger to the public or his clients in the course of his practice of law, and must obtain this certification before he can apply for readmission to practice law); (6) that he shall serve upon the Office of General Counsel copies of any certifications from LAP and the Board of Bar Examiners concerning his passage of the MPRE; (7) that he shall file the certifications from the Board of Bar Examiners, LAP, and the Office of General Counsel with the State Disciplinary Board; and (8) that he shall file any request for readmission to practice law with the appropriate Boards as provided by the then applicable Bar Rules (Perry's request must show that he has met all conditions for reinstatement).
Perry is reminded of his duties under Bar Rule 4-219(c) to timely notify all of his clients of his inability to represent them, to take all actions necessary to protect their interests, and to certify to this Court that he has satisfied the requirements of such rule.
Thirty-six month suspension, reinstatement upon conditions. All the Justices concur, except Hunstein, J., who dissents.
DECIDED DECEMBER 4 1998 — RECONSIDERATION DENIED DECEMBER 18, 1998.
Based on Perry's violations of Standards 4 and 61, particularly his forgery of a client's signature on a release form, I agree with the recommendation made by the State Bar and the special master appointed by this Court and would disbar Perry. Accordingly, I must respectfully dissent from the majority's imposition of a three-year suspension.
HUNSTEIN, J., dissenting.
