Furthermore, Resnik failed to cooperate with the Director's investigation. See
Minn. R. Prof. Conduct 8.1 (b ); Rule 25, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility
(RLPR).
Resnik and the Director have entered into a stipulation for discipline. In it, Resnik
withdraws his previously filed answer, unconditionally admits the allegations in the
petition and the supplementary petition, and waives his procedural rights under Rule 14,
RLPR. The parties jointly recommend that the appropriate discipline is disbarment.
This court has independently reviewed the file and approves the jointly
recommended disposition.
Based upon all the files. records, and proceedings herein,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. Respondent Ronald Resnik is disbarred, effective as of the date of this
order.
2. Respondent shall comply with Rule 26, RLPR (requiring notice of
disbarment to clients, opposing counsel, and tribunals).
3. Respondent shall pay $900 in costs and $13 5 in disbursements pursuant to
Rule 24, RLPR.
