mitigation, the hearing panel considered the absence of a prior
disciplinary record and the delay in disciplinary proceedings.
Based on our review of the record, we conclude that the guilty
plea agreement should be approved. See SCR 113(1). Gage is suspended
from the practice of law for four years, retroactive to July 30, 2010; Gage
shall pay a $25,000 fine to the State Bar of Nevada's Client Security Fund
by January 14, 2015; and Gage is publicly reprimanded for his admitted
ethical violations. Gage shall comply with SCR 116 if he desires to be
reinstated to the practice of law in Nevada. The parties shall comply with
the applicable provisions of SCR 115 and SCR 121.1. 1
