ORDER

AND NOW, this 25th day of March, 2004, upon consideration of the contention of respondent-attorney that he is suffering from a disability condition which makes it impossible for him to prepare an adequate defense to disciplinary charges brought against him in connection with Office of Disciplinary Counsel File No. Cl-04-15, it is hereby

ORDERED that Martin B. Pitkow is immediately transferred to inactive status pursuant to Rule 301(e), Pa.R.D.E., for an indefinite period and until further order of the Court. Respondent shall comply with Rule 217, Pa.R.D.E. All pending disciplinary proceedings against the respondent-attorney shall meanwhile be held in abeyance, except for the perpetuation of testimony.
