PER CURIAM.
This is a petition to review Hamman v. Worling, 525 So. 2d 933 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988), in which the district court of appeal had affirmed the judgment on the authority of McCullough v. Central Florida YMCA, 523 So. 2d 1208 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988). We accepted jurisdiction because McCullough was pending in this Court by reason of its conflict with Zordan v. Page, 500 So. 2d 608 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986), review denied, 508 So. 2d 15 (Fla.1987). Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. Jollie v. State, 405 So. 2d 418 (Fla.1981). Based upon our decision in Landis v. Allstate Insurance Co., 546 So. 2d 1051 (Fla.1989), which disapproved the majority opinion in Zordan, we have now approved the opinion in McCullough. Shearer v. Central Florida YMCA, 546 So. 2d 1050 (Fla.1989). Therefore, we approve the decision of the district court of appeal in this case.
It is so ordered.

THE Florida BAR v. Neckman, 616 So. 2d 31 (Fla. 1993)…ccepts the referee’s recommendation, while The Bar asks that he be disbarred. Initially, we note that it is proper for discipline to be imposed upon an attorney who has temporarily resigned the license to practice law. E.g., The Fla. Bar v. Winter, 549 So. 2d 188 (Fla.1989). But we do not believe our cases stand for the proposition that the unauthorized practice of law by such a person always requires disbarment. We agree with the Bar that a private reprimand (also called “admonishment”) is inappropriate in…
