Supreme Court

                                                                           No. 2022-233-M.P.

  In the Matter of Elizabeth Stone (Borges). :

                                             ORDER

       On August 2, 2022, this Court’s Disciplinary Counsel filed a petition pursuant to Article

III, Rule 6(e) of the Supreme Court Rules of Disciplinary Procedure requesting that the Court order

the respondent Elizabeth Stone, to file an answer to a disciplinary complaint. Counsel informed

us that the respondent has failed to answer the complaint despite several requests that she do so.

       On September 9, 2022, we entered an order reprimanding the respondent for her failure to

answer that complaint and directing her to file her answer within ten days. The order further

provided that her failure to do so would result in her suspension from the practice of law. The

respondent was served with that order electronically on September 9, 2022. The respondent has

failed to file her answer and is in willful defiance of this Court’s order.

       Accordingly, it is ordered that the respondent, Elizabeth Stone, is suspended from engaging

in the practice of law in this state, effective immediately, and until further order of this Court.

       Entered as an Order of this Court this 17th day of October 2022.

                                                               By Order,
