Description

CORCORAN, Justice On February 5, 1990, the State Bar of Arizona filed a formal complaint with a Hearing Committee (Committee)
charging Respondent John Adair Shannon, Jr. with two counts of unethical conduct in which Respondent allegedly violated numerous
ethical rules enumerated in rule 42, Arizona Rules of the Supreme Court. By a 2-1 vote, the Committee recommended that Respondent
be suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year. The 8-member Disciplinary Commission (Commission) unanimously
adopted the Committee's recommendation and further recommended that Respondent make restitution in the amount of $2,258.60.1 This is an appeal and a cross-appeal from the Disciplinary Commission's order filed October 28, 1991. The State Bar urges
the court to find additional violations and argues that disbarment, rather than the recommended one-year suspension, is the
appropriate sanction for Respondent's violations. Respondent challenges the Commission's findings, the recommended sanctions,
and the imposition of costs and expenses. Respondent basically argues that: (1) the evidence presented is not sufficient to
sustain a finding that he violated any ethical rule; (2) a one-year suspension is both an inappropriate and disproportionate
sanction; (3) some of the charges assessed against him are duplicative; and (4) this court lacks the power to assess certain
types of expenditures. We have jurisdiction pursuant to rule 53(e), Arizona Rules of the Supreme Court.
