What is our role in making independent findings of fact in a State Bar disciplinary proceedings?

Our function in State Bar disciplinary proceedings is well established. We [587 P.2d 1159] make independent findings of fact on review of the entire record and exercise an independent judgment as to the discipline to be imposed. (See Brotsky v. State Bar (1962) 57 Cal.2d 287, 301, 19 Cal.Rptr. 153, 368 P.2d 697.) Our review of the record in the present case indicates that there was ample evidence to support the conclusion of the board.
