And the Office of Attorney Ethics and respondent having signed a stipulation of discipline by consent in which it was agreed that respondent negligently misappropriated $10,303.23 in client funds, failed to comply with the recordkeeping rules — including commingling personal and trust funds and depositing earned fees in the trust account — and failed to properly supervise his firm’s employees with regard to the maintenance of the business and trust accounts;
