ORDER On April 11, 1989, the Director of Lawyers Professional Responsibility filed with this court a petition for disciplinary action against the Respondent James T. Skonnord. Six days later, on April 17, 1989, the Director filed a supplementary petition for disciplinary action against the Respondent. The two petitions allege a long series of neglect of client affairs, procrastination in the handling of client matters, violation of prior disciplinary probation, failing to cooperate with the Director of the Lawyers Board, issuing insufficient fund checks to courts for filing fees, omissions of communication with clients, failing to appear at court hearings, and other actions and inactions warranting public discipline. Subsequently the Respondent waived his right to answer and unconditionally admitted all the allegations in the two petitions in a stipulation entered into between himself and the Director. He also waived all rights afforded to him by Rules 14 and 15 of the Rules on Lawyer Professional Responsibility. These rights include the rights to various hearings and the right to contest any findings of any referee appointed by this court with respect to the allegations in the petition. In the stipulation the Director and the Respondent have recommended certain public discipline to this court.
The court having considered the petition, the amended petition, its May 5, 1988 order suspending the Respondent for 60 days and placing him on supervised probation for two years following his reinstatement, 422 N.W.2d 726 (1988), and the stipulation entered *Page 452 into between the parties NOW ORDERS:
