Further, respondent shall remain suspended until such time as he fully responds in writing to the official bar inquiry contained in "Exhibit A" and until further order of this Court.
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.
