STATE ex rel. OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION v. GIES
Syllabus
¶0 Cassity B. Gies entered a nolo contendere plea to one felony count of child endangerment and one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. The Oklahoma Bar Association initiated disciplinary proceedings under Rule 7 of the Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings. No interim suspension was imposed, and the matter proceeded to the Professional Responsibility Tribunal. While the case was pending, Gies was also charged in municipal court with public intoxication. Following a hearing, the PRT recommended a public reprimand. We disagree and conclude the record supports suspending Gies for a period of six (6) months and assessing costs of this proceeding.
