      David M. Mohr and Guy T. Barone, for relator.
    
      James D. Caruso, for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

We adopt the findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the board. Respondent violated DR 7-104(A)(l) by communicating directly with adverse parties represented by counsel about the subject of the representation without their counsel’s consent. As in comparable cases involving a violation of DR 7-104(A)(l), a public reprimand is an appropriate sanction. See Cleveland Bar Assn. v. Rossi (1998), 81 Ohio St.3d 195, 690 N.E.2d 501; Trumbull Cty. Bar Assn. v. Makridis (1996), 77 Ohio St.3d 73, 671 N.E.2d 31; Toledo Bar Assn. v. Savage (1995), 74 Ohio St.3d 183, 657 N.E.2d 507. Accordingly, respondent is hereby publicly reprimanded. Costs taxed to respondent.

Judgment affirmed.
