OPINION
2Per curiam
What discipline is appropriate when an attorney gives false testimony under oath, presents the false testimony of a client and represents a client despite an impermissible conflict of interest? We order that the respondent in this matter, Damon L. Ward, be suspended for six months, with reinstatement to be automatic if Ward has complied with the requirements of Rule 26, Rules on Lawyers Professional Responsibility (RLPR), and successfully completes the professional responsibility portion of the bar examination, pursuant to Rule 18, RLPR, within one year of the date of this order.
