Opinion
Case No. 45S00-0509-DI-415.
January 31, 2006.
ORDER GRANTING COMMISSION'S MOTION TO DISMISS
On December 15, 2005, this Court suspended respondent's Indiana law license for failing to cooperate with the disciplinary process and assessed costs against respondent in the amount of $518.14. To date, respondent has not sought to have this suspension lifted and it remains in effect.
On April 22, 2005, in a separate action, Matter of Jarrett, Cause No. 45S00-0502-DI-59, this Court issued a suspension of respondent's Indiana law license for failing to cooperate with the disciplinary process. Respondent did not cure his failure to cooperate, so on December 21, 2005, this Court converted respondent's suspension to an indefinite suspension of his Indiana law license.
On January 5, 2006, the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission moved to dismiss Cause No. 45S00-0501-DI-10, with costs unpaid and still due and owing. The Commission noted that if respondent sought reinstatement of his law license under Cause No. 45S00-0502-DI-59, the issues raised by his suspension in Cause No. 45S00-0509-DI-415 could be addressed in that reinstatement proceeding.
And this Court, being duly advised now finds that the Commission's motion should be granted dismissing Cause No. 45S00-0509-DI-415, with costs unpaid and still due and owing.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Commission's Motion to Dismiss is hereby GRANTED, with costs unpaid and still due and owing.
The Clerk of this Court is directed to send notice of this Order by certified or registered mail to the respondent or his attorney, and to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission.
All Justices concur.
