On Report and Recommendation of the Board on Professional Responsibility

Argued April 17, 2001

In this attorney discipline case, the Board on Professional Responsibility (“Board”) reluctantly recommended that the respondent, David O. Davenport, be suspended for six months for commingling and negligently misappropriating funds in violation of Rule 1.15 (a) of the District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct. *fn1 Davenport filed an exception to the Board’s report and recommendation arguing that exceptional circumstances exist in this case to support a departure from the normal range of suspension for conduct involving commingling and negligent misappropriation of funds. Because the respondent has failed to materially distinguish his case from others where a six-month sanction was imposed, we adopt the recommendation of the Board.
