McMorris

*98 Opinion

Petitioner, Samuel Carter McMorris, was admitted to the practice of law in this state on January 14, 1954. On December 8, 1977, this court suspended petitioner from the practice of law for one year for acts of misconduct occurring between 1975 and 1977. Probation was imposed without any actual suspension. (Bar Misc. No. 4028.) Thereafter, on September 20, 1978, we suspended petitioner for 90 days for further infractions. (Bar Misc. No. 4077.)

In the present proceeding, the record discloses additional acts of misconduct occurring during the period from June 1975 to November 1978, including three counts of failing to perform services for clients. Under these circumstances, we accept the State Bar’s recommendation that petitioner be suspended from the practice of law for 180 days.

Because petitioner does not contest the findings of the Disciplinary Board of the State Bar, we briefly summarize those findings without additional review of the underlying evidence.
