Even though respondent sought a “substantially different discipline in this state,” given his consent to disbarment in North Carolina and his admitted misappropriation of client funds and criminal tax-related misconduct, we find disbarment is the appropriate sanction to impose as reciprocal discipline.

In re Lindler (Lawyers Weekly No. 010-010-22, 2 pp.) (Per curiam) John Nichols and Jamie Wilson for the Office of Disciplinary Counsel; Barbara Marie Seymour for respondent. S.C. S. Ct.
