Kozyra, Case No. 15-148-GA, would be amended to allow for payments of $200.00 per month to Christine Piefer, until $1,250.00 was paid in full; and, once Ms. Piefer was paid then respondent is to make monthly payments to the State Bar of Michigan Client Protection Fund to reimburse it in full for the $3,250.00 that was paid to Brittany Carter. Further, the panel ordered that the show cause proceedings in this matter be dismissed without prejudice to the filing of a future petition for an order to show cause based upon any new violation. Costs were assessed in the amount of $1 ,660.34.
