S11Y0275. IN THE MATTER OF BROOKS E. BLITCH III. PER CURIAM. This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the report and recommendation of a special master, James C. Whelchel, appointed pursuant to Bar Rule 4-106 (e). The special master recommends suspending Respondent Brooks E. Blitch III (State Bar No. 063400) for three years for his violation of Rule 8.4 (a) (2) of Bar Rule 4-102 (d). Disbarment is generally appropriate where an attorney has been convicted of a felony involving fraud, and we find disbarment appropriate in this case given the circumstances. On December 1, 2009, Blitch who has been a member of the Bar since 1961 and who served as a superior court judge for 27 years, entered a guilty plea in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia to Honest Services Fraud Conspiracy under 18 USC
