ORDER DISMISSING ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AND DIRECTING THE RESPONDENT TO PAY COSTS
The Disciplinary Commission petitioned this Court to issue an "Order to Show Cause," directing Respondent to show cause why Respondent should not be suspended from the practice of law in this State for failing to respond to the Disciplinary Commission's demand for a response to a grievance filed against Respondent. On November 29, 2007, the Commission filed a motion to dismiss this proceeding, stating that Respondent complied with the Commission's demands. The Commission also moves this Court to impose costs against Respondent pursuant to Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23(10)(f)(5).
The Court, being duly advised, now DISMISSES this proceeding as moot.
Pursuant to Admission and Discipline Rule 23(10)(f)(5), the Court ORDERS Respondent to reimburse the Disciplinary Commission $515.97 for the costs of prosecuting this proceeding. A check in this amount should be made payable to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission and sent or delivered to the Commission at 115 West Washington Street, Suite 1165, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Pursuant to Admission and Discipline Rule 23(10)(f)(5) and Rule 2(h), Respondent's failure to pay these costs by the due date of the next annual registration fee (October 1) will subject Respondent to an order of suspension from the practice of law.
The Clerk of this Court is directed to forward notice of this Order to the Respondent or Respondent's attorney and to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission.
DONE at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 5th day of December, 2007.
