1. Reprimand 2. Effective October 21, 2016 The respondent and the Grievance Administrator filed a stipulation for a consent order of discipline, in accordance with MCR 9.115(F)(5), which was approved by the Attorney Grievance Commission and accepted by the hearing panel.

In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the panel ordered that respondent be reprimanded, along with the condition that respondent shall attend the seminar entitled "lawyer Trust Accounts: Management Principles and Record Keeping Resources," offered by the State Bar of Michigan scheduled for October 18, 2016, or the next available seminar if respondent is unable to attend the October 18, 2016 seminar. Costs were assessed in the amount of $764.36. ~Mark A. A Qrmitage ~
