This disciplinary matter is before the Court on Respondent P. Russell Tarver’s Petition for Voluntary Discipline, filed pursuant to Bar Rule 4-227 b 2, in which Tarver admits violating Standard 67 disbarment or suspension by another state is a ground for disbarment or suspension in the State of Georgia of Bar Rule 4-102 d. Tarver, who has been a member of the State Bar of Georgia since 1969 and is a resident of the State of Alabama, pled guilty to the disciplinary board in Alabama on September 27, 1999 to conduct which would constitute a violation of Standard 12 a lawyer shall not solicit professional employment as a private practitioner for himself, his partner or associate through direct personal contact with a non-lawyer who has not sought his advice regarding employment of a lawyer of Bar Rule 4-102 d in Georgia, and received a 45-day suspension effective at 12:01 a.m. on November 16, 1999.

Although a violation of either Standard 12 or Standard 67 is punishable by disbarment in Georgia, Tarver seeks the imposition of a 45-day suspension from the practice of law as appropriate discipline. See Bar Rule 4-102 b 2. The State Bar believes that the interests of the Bar and the public would be best served by the acceptance of Tarver’s petition and has no objection to this Court’s acceptance of the petition. In mitigation of discipline, Tarver offers that he has no prior disciplinary record in Georgia, that he voluntarily reported his Alabama suspension to the State Bar of Georgia, and that he has no clients in Georgia. Tarver has waived any right of confidentiality in matters related to his petition and all rights to any hearing and procedural notifications, rejections and exceptions provided by Part IV of the Bar Rules.
