O R D E R 
 
 
This 5th day of October 2006, it appears to the Court that the Board 
on Professional Responsibility (the “Board”) has filed its report in this 
matter pursuant to Rule 9(d) of the Delaware Lawyers’ Rules of Disciplinary 
Procedure (“Procedural Rules”) recommending Gerard P. Kavanaugh, Jr., 
Esquire (the “Respondent”) be transferred to disability inactive status.  
Neither the Respondent nor the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (“ODC”) has 
filed objections to the Board’s Report and Recommendation.  The Court has 
reviewed the matter pursuant to Procedural Rule 9(e) and concludes that the 
Board’s Report and Recommendation should be approved. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 
 
2
 
1. 
The Respondent is transferred to disability inactive status until 
such time as he can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that any 
disabilities have been removed; 
 
2. 
The ODC is directed to petition the Court of Chancery for 
appointment of James E. Harker, Esquire, as received for the Respondent’s 
law practice; 
 
3. 
The Respondent may petition the Court for transfer to active 
status once every six months; and 
 
4. 
This Order shall be made public.
