Supreme Court of Florida

Following the conviction of an attorney for first degree felony of trafficking in the drug "Ecstasy," a referee's recommendation that the court accept the attorney's unconditional guilty plea and consent judgment for discipline, suspending him from the Florida Bar for three years is disapproved as, given the gravity of the offense, disbarment effective, nunc pro tunc, July 3, 2006 is the appropriate sanction in light of the criteria previously enunciated in Florida Bar v. Pahules, 233 So. 2d 130, (Fla> 1970).
