02/04/1994DISMISSED On consideration of the unanimous report and recommendation of the Board on Professional Responsibility, supported by Bar Cousel, that no reciprocal discipline be imposed in this case because the misconduct that formed the basis of the Virginia public reprimand does not constitute misconduct in the District of Columbia.
