In the Matter of: Michael L. Meyer, Respondent
PUBLISHED ORDER OF INTERIM SUSPENSION UPON NOTICE OF GUILTY FINDING
Loretta H. Rush, Chief Justice of Indiana
The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, pursuant to Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23(11.1)(a), has filed a "Notice of Finding of Guilt and Request for Suspension," requesting that Respondent be suspended from the practice of law in this State, pending further order of this Court or final resolution of any resulting disciplinary action, due to Respondent being found guilty of a crime punishable as a felony.
The Court, being duly advised and upon consideration of all materials submitted, now finds that Respondent has been found guilty of the following offenses under federal law: Conspiracy to Defraud the United States and Tax Evasion.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Respondent is suspended from the practice of law in this State, effective immediately. Respondent is ordered to fulfill the continuing duties of a suspended attorney under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26). The interim suspension shall continue until further order of this Court or final resolution of any resulting disciplinary action, provided no other suspension is in effect.
Done.
All Justices concur, except Slaughter, J., who would decline to impose interim suspension because Respondent already has resigned from the Indiana bar. See Matter of Meyer, 174 N.E.3d 1061 (Ind. 2021).
