                             Accordingly, we temporarily suspend Smith from the practice
                 of law and refer this matter to the Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board
                 for the initiation of formal disciplinary proceedings in which the sole issue
                 to be determined is the extent of discipline to be imposed. See SCR 111(7),
                 (8).
                             It is so ORDERED.
