    Supreme Court of South Carolina.
    Submitted Oct. 13, 1997.
    Decided Oct. 27, 1997.
    Charles Edward Feeley, Summerville, pro se.
    Attorney General Charles Molony Condon and Senior Assistant Attorney General James G. Bogle, Jr., Columbia, for the Office of the Disciplinary Counsel.
   PER CURIAM:

In this attorney disciplinary matter, respondent and Disciplinary Counsel have entered into an agreement under Rule 21, RLDE, Rule 413, SCACR. In the agreement, respondent admits misconduct and consents to be suspended from the practice of law for ninety days, retroactive to the date of his interim suspension. We accept the agreement.

Respondent entered into a plea agreement with the Attorney General’s Office whereby respondent agreed to plead guilty to one count of failure to make and file a South Carolina Income Tax return in violation of S.C.Code Ann. § 12-54-40(b)(6)(c) (Supp.1996). In' exchange for the plea, three other indictments for failure to make and file a tax return were dismissed. Respondent pled guilty pursuant to the plea agreement and was sentenced to imprisonment for one year, suspended upon thirty days public service and one years’ probation.

The failure to file a tax return is a serious crime as set forth in Rule 2(z), RLDE, Rule 413, SCACR. By his conduct, respondent has violated Rule 8.4 of the Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 407, SCACR, and Rule 7(a)(4), RLDE, by committing a serious crime that reflects adversely upon his honesty, trustworthiness and fitness as a lawyer and has violated Rule 7(a)(5) and (6), RLDE, by engaging in conduct tending to bring the courts or legal profession info disrepute and violating the oath of office he took upon admission to the practice of law in this State.

In our opinion, respondent’s misconduct warrants a definite suspension from the practice of law for ninety days. Accordingly, respondent is suspended for ninety days, retroactive to June 26, 1997, the date of his interim suspension. Within fifteen days of the date of this opinion, respondent shall file an affidavit with the Clerk of Court showing that he has complied with Rule 30; RLDE, Rule 413, SCACR.

DEFINITE SUSPENSION.
