Where attorney John R. Dade failed to act with reasonable diligence in two client matters, and failed to distribute funds from his trust account as required by a sales contract, a 60-day suspension is appropriate.

“After having reviewed the record here and in light of Attorney Dade’s choice not to challenge the referee’s factual findings, we adopt the referee’s findings of fact and his conclusions of law that Attorney Dade committed the ethical violations alleged in the four counts of the complaint. Given those findings, we conclude that Attorney Dade’s professional misconduct requires that his license to practice law in this state be suspended for a period of 60 days. Moreover, given that Attorney Dade has not objected to the statement of costs filed by the OLR, we determine that he should be required to pay the full amount of costs in this disciplinary proceeding.”

Per Curiam.

Attorneys: For Appellant: Krohn, Robert G., Edgerton; Weigel, William J., Madison; For Respondent: Dade, John R., Whitewater
