ORDER DECLINING TO IMPOSE TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
This is a petition under SCR 111 concerning attorney James
Colin, based on a conviction for battery, a misdemeanor in violation of
NRS 200.481. Cohn self-reported the conviction to the State Bar as
required by SCR 111(2). Because the conviction is not for a "serious
crime" as defined in SCR 111(6), temporary suspension and referral for
disciplinary proceedings are not mandatory. SCR 111(7), (8). Having
considered the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude that
Colin's offense is a minor one that does not warrant the imposition of a
temporary suspension or referral to a disciplinary board at this time. See
SCR 111(9). 1
It is so ORDERED.
