Following a complaint, a grievance was initiated
         against the respondent by the Danbury Judicial District
         Grievance Panel. Thereafter, the Grievance Panel for
         the Judicial District of Stamford/Norwalk notified the
         respondent by letter dated March 22, 2016, that on Jan-
         uary 27, 2016, it had determined there was probable
         cause to believe that she was guilty of misconduct. [Peti-
         tioner’s Exs. 7, 10]. At the presentment hearing, the
         respondent acknowledged the finding of probable cause.
         The letter issued by the panel advised the respondent
         that she had violated rule 1.15 (a) (4) and (5) of the
         Rules of Professional Conduct in that the gift funds
         provided by Ms. I Am were improperly deposited into
         the respondent’s IOLTA account.4 [Id.] On March 30,
         2016, the petitioner sent a letter to the respondent which
         requested that she provide eight listed items so that the
         petitioner could conduct an audit of the IOLTA account.
         [Petitioner’s Ex. 6]. The requested information, pursu-
         ant to rule 8.1 of the Rules of Professional Conduct,
         was to be provided within fourteen days and noted
         that ‘‘[y]our failure to comply with this demand will be
         considered professional misconduct and expose you to
         further disciplinary action.’’ [Id.]
           4
             The presentment to this court did not encompass rule 1.15 (a) (4) and
         therefore the court need not address it.
