IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that SCOTT W. SCHLIEVERT, a member of the State Bar of Arizona, is hereby suspended from the practice of law for a period of six-months and one-day, effective thirty (30) days from the date of this order, for conduct in violation of his duties and obligations as a lawyer, as disclosed in the Disciplinary Commission Report.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that SCOTT W. SCHLIEVERT shall be placed on probation for a period of two years upon reinstatement and effective upon the signing of the probation contract. Bar Counsel shall notify the Disciplinary Clerk of the date on which the probation begins. The terms of probation are as follows:

1) Within 30 days upon reinstatement, Respondent shall contact the director of Law Office Management Assistance Program (LOMAP) and schedule a LOMAP audit. The LOMAP director or designee shall conduct the audit within 60 days thereafter. The director of LOMAP shall develop a probation contract effective for two years from the date the contract is signed, and Respondent shall comply with all recommendations of the LOMAP director or designee.
