Lower Tribunal Nos.: 2003-00,282(2A), 2004-00,519(2A), 2005-00,001(2A).
After full consideration of this cause including oral argument, Joyce Sibson Dove is hereby suspended from the practice of law until further order of this Court. The suspension is effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out her practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies this Court in writing that she 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 accept no new business from the date this order is filed.
Full opinion to follow.
Not final until time expires to file motion for rehearing, and if filed, determined. The filing of a motion for rehearing shall not alter the effective date of this suspension.
