transferred to disability inactive status under Rule 19 of the Delaware

jurisdiction.

Esquire, a member in good standing of the Delaware Bar, is willing and
available to assume all of the Petitioner’s client matters. Thus, no receiver

need be appointed.

the ODC are deferred pending further order of this Court.

      (5)   This Order shall be made public.
