ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Comes now the Indiana Supreme Court Commission for Continuing Legal Education and petitions this Court to direct the respondent, Richard Michael Congleton, to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of this Court due to his unauthorized practice of law subsequent to his suspension by this Court on May 11, 1999, for his failure to obtain the requisite continuing legal education.
