1Opinion of the Court
STREIT, Justice.
An Iowa attorney passed someone else’s writing as his own and claimed he spent almost two weeks writing that which he used. The Iowa Supreme Court Board of Professional Ethics and Conduct filed a complaint with our Grievance Commission against respondent, William J. Lane, alleging he violated several ethical rules and recommended we suspend Lane’s license to practice law for three months. Our review is required by Court Rule 118.10. We agree with the Commission’s findings of misconduct but suspend Lane’s license for six months.
