IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that after the six month period of suspension imposed under this order, the Respondent shall be automatically reinstated to the practice of law in the State of Indiana subject to the payment of costs of this proceeding.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to forward a copy of this Order to all parties who were provided notice of the suspension previously imposed.
