PER CURIAM.
In this Bar disciplinary proceeding the referee has found the respondent, Andrew P. Mavrides, a member of The Florida Bar, guilty of eight instances of violation of the Code of Professional Responsibility. Considering the totality of the respondent’s conduct, the referee recommends disbarment. Mavrides has not contested the referee’s report.
It would appear that none of Mavrides’ derelictions, standing alone, would require disbarment. The cumulative demonstration of his acts, however, shows that he is unfit to practice law. We adopt the referee’s report and recommendation.
Andrew P. Mavrides is hereby disbarred from practicing law in Florida. A judgment for costs in the amount of $5,194.27 is entered against him.
It is so ordered.
ADKINS, Acting C.J., and BOYD, MCDONALD, EHRLICH and SHAW, JJ., concur.

We agree with The Florida Bar that the respondent’s misconduct warrants a tougher discipline…

Montgomery, 412 So. 2d 346 (Fla.1982). We find the referee’s recommendation is reasonable under these circumstances. Accordingly, we approve the referee’s report and suspend MacPherson from the practice of law for…
