DAYTON BAR ASSOCIATION v. BUREN (1998)

Supreme Court of Ohio.

DAYTON BAR ASSOCIATION v. BUREN.

No. 98-1729.

Decided: December 30, 1998

Certo & Larson, and Peter R. Certo, Jr., Kettering, for relator.

Per Curiam. We concur with the findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the board. Buren engaged in a continuing course of deceit, misrepresentation, and neglect of duty to his clients and the bankruptcy court. In addition, Buren has failed to cooperate with disciplinary proceedings. Under these circumstances, disbarment is the appropriate sanction. See, e.g., Cuyahoga Cty. Bar Assn. v. Churilla (1997), 78 Ohio St.3d 348, 350, 678 N.E.2d 515, 516-517; Cincinnati Bar Assn. v. Brown (1997), 78 Ohio St.3d 345, 678 N.E.2d 513. Buren is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

PER CURIAM.

MOYER, C.J., and DOUGLAS, RESNICK, FRANCIS E. SWEENEY, Sr., PFEIFER, COOK and LUNDBERG STRATTON, JJ., concur.
