ORDER IMPOSING TEMPORARY SUSPENSION This is a petition by the state bar for an order temporarily suspending attorney Amy Gamage from the practice of law, pending the resolution of formal disciplinary proceedings against her. The petition and supporting documentation aver that Carnage has misappropriated or mishandled thousands of dollars of client or third-party funds entrusted to her.- After considering the petition, we issued an order restricting Carnage's handling of funds and allowing her time to show cause why this court should not immediately suspend her from the practice of law or impose conditions on her continued practice of law pending resolution of formal disciplinary proceedings. In response, Gamage indicates that she does not intend to oppose the request for a temporary suspension. Considering the documentation before us and Gamage's response, we conclude that her immediate temporary suspension is warranted under SCR 10200). Accordingly. attorney Amy Carnage is temporarily- suspended from the practice of law, pending the resolution of formal disciplinary
