transferred to disability inactive status under Rule 19 of the Delaware

Lawyers’ Rules of Disciplinary Procedure.

jurisdiction.

      (3)       The Petitioner represents to the Court that John Garey, Esquire

and Constantine Malmberg, Esquire, both members in good standing of the
Delaware Bar, have assumed responsibility for 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.
