The Discipline Committee held a hearing regarding penalty and costs for the registrant following a finding of professional misconduct.
The parties presented a Joint Submission on Penalty and Costs, which included a reprimand, a two-month suspension, completion of an ethics course, and $5,000 in costs.
The Committee accepted the joint submission, finding it reasonable and in the public interest, as it appropriately addressed the principles of specific and general deterrence, public protection, and rehabilitation.
