In the Matter of Clark

Opinion

PUBLISHED ORDER SUSPENDING RESPONDENT FROM THE PRACTICE OF LAW IN INDIANA FOR NONCOOPERATION

On June 21, 2010, this Court ordered Respondent to show cause why Respondent should not be immediately suspended from the practice of law in this state for failure to cooperate with the Commission's investigation of a grievance filed against Respondent. The order required that Respondent show cause in writing within ten days of service of the order. Constructive service was made on September 8, 2010. Respondent has not submitted a response to the Court's order to show cause. On September 21, 2010, the Commission filed a "Request for Ruling and to Tax Costs." Respondent is currently under suspension for continuing legal education noncompliance and dues nonpayment, effective June 8, 2010.

Being duly advised, the Court ORDERS that Respondent be suspended from the practice of law for noncooperation with the Commission, effective immediately. Pursuant to Admission and Discipline Rule 23(10)(F)(8), this suspension shall continue until: (1) the Executive Secretary of the Disciplinary Commission certifies to the *229 Court that Respondent has cooperated fully with the investigation; (2) the investigation or any disciplinary proceedings arising from the investigation are disposed of; or (3) until further order of this Court. This suspension, however, shall not be lifted until Respondent cures the causes of any other suspensions then in effect. Respondent is ordered to continue to fulfill the duties of a suspended attorney under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Admission and Discipline Rule 28(10)(F)(5), that Respondent reimburse the Disciplinary Commission $528.21 for the costs of prosecuting this proceeding.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to give notice of this order to Respondent by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address reflected in the Roll of Attorneys. The Clerk of this Court is further directed to give notice of this order to the Disciplinary Commission and to all other entities entitled to notice under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(8)(d). The Clerk is further directed to post this order to the Court's website, and Thomson Reuters is directed to publish a copy of this order in the bound volumes of this Court's decisions.

All Justices concur.
