Robert L. Goldstucker, Mary A. Palma, Nall, Miller, Owens, Hocutt & Howard, Atlanta, GA, for State Bar of Georgia.

Andrew R. Kirschner, Bedford, Kirschner & Venker, Atlanta, GA, Ralph Goldberg, Decatur, GA, for Falanga and Chalker.

Before HATCHETT, Chief Judge, and EDMONDSON and COX, Circuit Judges.

HATCHETT, Chief Judge:

We conclude that it does, affirming in part and reversing in part the judgment of the district court.
