PER CURIAM.
As we said in Cleveland Bar Assn. v. Belock (1998), 82 Ohio St.3d 98, 100, 694 N.E.2d 897, 899, "The continuing public confidence in the judicial system and the bar requires that the strictest discipline be imposed in misappropriation cases." We find no mitigating circumstances here that would justify an exception to that principle. Respondent is hereby permanently disbarred from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs are taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
MOYER, C.J., DOUGLAS, RESNICK, F.E. SWEENEY, PFEIFER, COOK and LUNDBERG STRATTON, JJ., concur.
