After proceedings in accordance with MCR 9.115 and based on the evidence presented by the parties at the hearings held in this matter, the hearing panel found that respondent committed professional misconduct when he failed to file a written answer to a request for investigation from the Grievance Administrator which sought an explanation from respondent as to why a restitution check, written from respondent's IOlTA account was returned for insufficient funds.
The panel found that respondent failed to answer a request for investigation in conformity with MCR 9.113, in violation of MCR 9.104(7); engaged in conduct that violated or attempted to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, in violation of MRPC 8.4(a); engaged in conduct that exposed the legal profession or the courts to obloquy, contempt, censure, or reproach, in violation of MCR 9.104(2); and engaged in conduct that was contrary to justice, ethics, honesty, or good morals, in violation of MCR 9.104(3).
The panel ordered that respondent's license to practice law be suspended for a period of 30 days. Total costs were assessed in the amount of $1,758.72. a�,
