Case No. SC02-557.
December 5, 2002.
Lower Tribunal No. 2002-11,200(6A)
Decision Without Published Opinion.
On September 11, 2002, this Court issued an order terminating respondent's probation and temporarily suspending her. In the order, this Court directed the parties to "advise th[e] Court within 15 days of this order as to the appropriate discipline or further proceedings related thereto. Failure of respondent to respond will result in a 91 day suspension." Having received no response from respondent, Respondent Lois Charlyne Chatham is hereby suspended from the practice of law for 91 days with reinstatement conditioned on proof of rehabilitation. See R. Regulating Fla. Bar 3-5.1(e). This Court's September 11, 2002 order afforded respondent thirty days to close out her practice and protect the interests of existing clients, and further stated that respondent shall accept no new business from the date the order was issued. Accordingly, respondent's suspension in the instant case shall take effect immediately.
It is so ordered.
