The Court having issued its Order to Show Cause to respondent and respondent having failed to file a response to said Order to Show Cause,
IT IS ORDERED that respondent is held in contempt of this Court. As a sanction, respondent is suspended from the practice of law. Respondent is currently suspended; therefore this suspension is effective immediately. Respondent shall fully comply with Rule Regulating the Florida Bar 3–5.1(h). Further, respondent shall remain suspended until she fully responds in writing to the official Bar inquiries contained in “Exhibits 1 and 2” of the petition, and until further order of this Court.
The filing of a motion for rehearing shall not alter the effective date of this suspension.
