Effective April 13, 2013 Based on respondent's admissions in his amended answer to the formal complaint, and his subsequent admissions during the hearing, the hearing panel found that respondent held funds other than client or third person funds in an IOL TA account, in violation of MRPC 1.15(a)(3); failed

engaged in conduct that violates the standards or rules of professional conduct adopted by the Supreme Court, in violation of MCR 9.104(4); engaged in conduct in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct, in violation of MRPC 8.4(a); and, engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or violation of the criminal law, where such conduct reflects

adversely on the lawyers honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer, in violation of MRPC 8.4(b).

In accordance with the stipulation filed by the parties, the hearing panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law in Michigan be suspended for 179 days, effective April 13,
