摘要:The Oklahoma Bar Association (Bar Association),
the complainant, filed a complaint
against Stephen E. Lile, the respondent, alleging
specific acts constituting professional misconduct
in violation of the Oklahoma Rules of
Professional Conduct (ORPC), 5 O.S.2001, ch.
1, app. 3-A, Rule 8.4. Such a violation is
grounds for disciplinary action pursuant to
Rule 1, § 1.3 of the Rules Governing Disciplinary
Proceedings, 5 O.S.2001, ch. 1, app. 1-A.
The Bar Association recommended, and the
respondent agreed, that a public reprimand
was the appropriate discipline. The Professional
Responsibility Tribunal recommends
that the respondent be suspended for a period
of two years and one day, and assessed the
costs of this proceeding.
