NEUMAN, Justice.
The Committee on Professional Ethics and Conduct of the Iowa State Bar Association (committee) charged attorney Michael Mollman with unethically betraying the confidence of a friend and former client in order to secure leniency in his own prosecution for possession of cocaine. A division of the Grievance Commission found no attorney-client relationship but recommended a suspension of thirty days for deceitful conduct that brought discredit upon the legal profession. On Mollman’s appeal we affirm the findings of the commission and its recommended sanction.
