Office of Lawyer Regulation v. John R. Dade

SHIRLEY S. ABRAHAMSON, C.J.

¶ 21. (dissenting). I would not accept the parties' stipulation of a 60-day suspension. The attorney has been disciplined four times previously for similar offenses, including a 60-day suspension in 2007.

¶ 22. This stipulation is not in keeping with the concepts of progressive discipline or with assisting Attorney Dade in changing his behavior to protect the public.

¶ 23. I am authorized to state that Justice ANN WALSH BRADLEY joins this dissent.
