Opinion:
PUBLISHED ORDER OF INTERIM SUSPENSION FROM THE PRACTICE OF LAW
The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission files a "Verified Emergency Petition For Order Of Interim Suspension Pursuant To Indiana Admis. Disc. R. 23(ll.l)(b)," asking that Respondent be immediately 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 alleged misconduct that may cause Respondent's continued practice of law during the pen-dency of a disciplinary investigation or proceeding to pose a substantial threat of harm to the public, clients, potential clients, or the administration of justice. Respondent filed an answer to the petition in which he admits that the Commission is entitled to an order of interim suspension and states he is willing to cooperate fully in the resolution of this matter.
Being duly advised, the Court now GRANTS the petition and ORDERS that Respondent be suspended pendente lite from the practice of law in this State, effective fifteen (15) days from the date of this order. Respondent shall not undertake any new legal matters between service of this order and the effective date of the suspension, and Respondent is ordered to fulfill the duties of a suspended attorney under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26).
The Clerk of this Court is directed to send notice of this Order by certified or registered mail to the Respondent or Respondent's attorney, to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, and to all other entities entitled to notice under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(3)(d). The Clerk is further directed to post this order to the Court's website, and Thomson Reuters is directed to publish a copy of this order in the bound volumes of this Court's decisions.
All Justices concur.
