The Court thus having found the findings and conclusions of the Judicial Standards Commission to be fully substantiated, hereby adopts the recommendations of the Judicial Standards Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Recommendations of the Judicial Standards Commission are hereby adopted, and the Respondent Marvin E. Terry is hereby suspended for a period of thirty days without pay, effective the date of the final order of the Court.
