THE FLORIDA BAR, COMPLAINANT, v. JOHN J. HIGGINS, RESPONDENT.

PER CURIAM.

Upon complaint by The Florida Bar, this Court appointed a referee to conduct a hearing regarding Higgins' alleged misconduct. Higgins tendered a conditional guilty plea acknowledging his violation of the Florida Bar Code of Professional Responsibility, Disciplinary Rule 9-102(A). The referee recommended that Higgins be found guilty in accordance with his conditional plea, and that he be suspended from the practice of law in the State of Florida for a period of three months with automatic reinstatement at the conclusion of the three-month period.

We feel it unnecessary to publish the full text of the plea. The Court file is open for inspection.

Neither side contests the referee's report, which we adopt. John J. Higgins is suspended from the practice of law in the State of Florida for a period of three months, effective this date, with automatic reinstatement at the conclusion of the three-month period. We assess the costs of these proceedings against respondent in the amount of $1,443.80.

It is so ordered.

ADKINS, A.C.J., and BOYD, OVERTON, McDONALD and SHAW, JJ., concur.
