accounting practices and any other issues pertaining to his legal practice;
(5) provide quarterly reports to the State Bar regarding his trust account,
including but not limited to, copies of his trust account statements; and (6)
not be convicted of any crime with the exception of minor traffic
infractions that do not involve alcohol or controlled substances. Finally,
the agreement requires Rinato to pay the costs of the disciplinary
proceeding, excluding bar counsel and staff salaries, within 90 days after
he receives a bill from the State Bar.
Based on our review of the record, we conclude that the guilty
plea agreement should be approved. See SCR 113(1). We hereby impose a
six-month-and-one-day suspension to be served concurrently with the six-
month suspension imposed in Docket No. 64956. 1 Additionally, if Rinato
successfully petitions for reinstatement under SCR 116, he will be on
probation for two years and must comply with all of the conditions in the
plea agreement, as outlined above. Finally, Rinato shall pay the costs of
1 Rinato currently is suspended for failure to pay his State Bar
membership dues. Similar to the suspension imposed in Docket No.
64956, the suspension imposed in this order is separate from and in
addition to Rinato's dues suspension: the current suspensions for this
matter and Docket No. 64956 shall not begin until Rinato has resolved his
dues suspension. See SCR 98(13) (describing procedure for reinstatement
after dues suspension). We further note that Rinato has been suspended
for failure to comply with continuing legal education requirements, and
his right to reinstatement is conditioned upon full compliance with SCR
212(5) and SCR 213. In re Continuing Legal Education, Docket No. 66070

2015).
