THE FLORIDA BAR, Complainant(s) v. Mikal Winston GRASS, Respondent(s).


This matter is before the Court on The Florida Bar's Petition for Contempt and Order to Show Cause.

The Court having issued its Order to Show Cause to Respondent and Respondent having filed 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 effective thirty days from the date of this order so that Respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. Respondent shall remain suspended until he has fully responded to the Bar's inquiries, and until further order of this Court. If Respondent notifies this Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the suspension effective immediately. Respondent shall fully comply with Rule Regulating the Florida Bar 3–5.1(h). In addition, Respondent shall accept no new business from the date this order is filed until he is reinstated. Once the suspension takes effect, Respondent shall remain suspended until further order of this Court.

LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
