ORDER 
 
 
This 20th day of November 2014, it appears to the Court that Christopher 
Tease, Esquire, has filed a petition requesting to be transferred to disability inactive 
status.  The Office of Disciplinary Counsel does not oppose the petition.  According 
to the unopposed petition, Tease currently is suffering mental or physical incapacity 
which prevents him from both the practice of law and the ability to assist in his 
defense of pending matters.   
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Tease shall immediately be 
transferred to disability inactive status pursuant to Rule 19(b) of the Rules of 
Disciplinary Procedure.  The pending disciplinary matters are stayed.  The ODC may 
publicize Tease’s transfer to disability inactive status under Rule 19(d).
