1. Revocation 2. Effective June 18, 2005 1 The Grievance Administrator filed a petition on November 1, 2004 seeking entry of an order increasing discipline for respondent's failure to comply with the hearing panel's order of July 9, 2001; specifically, that respondent, without having petitioned for reinstatement, practiced law by placing his appearance on the record on behalf of the plaintiff in a landlord-tenant matter.

The hearing panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law be revoked. Costs were assessed in the amount of $1,644.30.
1 Respondent has been continuously suspended from the practice of law in Michigan since July 31, 2001. See Notice of Suspension (With Condition) issued August 2, 2001.
