Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 26th day of September, 2005, upon consideration of the contention of respondent-attorney that he is suffering from a disabling condition which makes it impossible for him to prepare an adequate defense to disciplinary charges brought against him in connection with Board File No. C2-05318, it is

ORDERED that Joseph Berenholz 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, and he shall comply with Rule 217, Pa.R.D.E. All pending disciplinary proceedings against respondent-attorney shall meanwhile be held in abeyance, except for the perpetuation of testimony.
