BOOCHEVER, Circuit Judge:
Defense attorney Buchanan appeals the decision and order of the district court suspending him from practice in the United States District Court, District of Nevada, for one year because of his failure to appear at the time set for trial of a criminal case. He contends that suspension was not authorized, and alternatively was too severe a sanction. Because suspension from practice was not authorized for tardiness we reverse and remand.
