This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the Petition for Voluntary Surrender of License filed by John Earl Duncan after appointment of a special master pursuant to Bar Rule 4-106. The State Bar has no objection to acceptance of the petition, and the special master similarly recommends that this Court accept Duncan’s request to voluntarily surrender his license to practice law. Duncan admits violating Standard 66 conviction of a felony or misdemeanor in connection with his guilty plea in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina to the charge of making a false material declaration to a grand jury in violation of 18 USC § 1623, as alleged in Count 1 of the Criminal Information assigned Case No. 3:99-638 in that court. Duncan admits that conviction of that felony constitutes a violation of Standard 66. Duncan waives his right to a hearing and requests that he be permitted to surrender his license to practice law, which is tantamount to disbarment under Bar Rule 4-110 f.
