OFFICE OF DISCIPLINARY COUNSEL v. SOUCEK.

Attorneys at law — Misconduct — Indefinite suspension — Engaging in illegal conduct involving moral turpitude — Possession of narcotics with intent to distribute.

Per Curiam.

This court finds that respondent violated the Disciplinary Rules indicated by the board. However, we find the sanction recommended was not appropriate when compared to the misconduct committed. Accordingly, respondent is hereby ordered indefinitely suspended from the practice of law in Ohio. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment accordingly.

MOYER, C.J., SWEENEY, LOCHER, HOLMES, DOUGLAS and H. BROWN, JJ., concur.

WRIGHT, J., dissents.

WRIGHT, J., dissenting.

The facts in this case indicate that respondent participated in — indeed, he was the driving force behind — a $200,000 illegal drug deal. Therefore, I believe that permanent disbarment would be a more appropriate sanction.
