WHEREAS, the Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility has filed a petition seeking revocation of the probation of respondent Jeffrey T.

WHEREAS, this court has independently reviewed the record and agrees that the conduct admitted to by respondent warrants the agreed to disposition,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that respondent Jeffrey T. Wallace is placed on indefinite suspension for a period of 18 months and that any reinstatement is conditioned on compliance with the terms agreed to by respondent and the Director as set out above.
