NOTICE OF INTERIM SUSPENSION PURSUANT TO MCR 9.115(H) Case No. 13-88-GA Notice Issued: October 8, 2013
Francis N. Soave, P 41167, St. Clair, Michigan, by Attorney Discipline Board St. Clair County Hearing Panel #1 .
1. Interim Suspension 2. Effective October 3, 2013. After being properly served with the formal complaint and the notice of hearing, respondent failed to personally appear at the September 24, 2013 hearing. After satisfactory proofs were
entered that respondent possessed actual notice of the proceedings, the hearing panel, in accordance with MCR 9.115(H)(1), determined that respondent's failure to appear warranted an interim suspension from the practice of law until further order of the panel.
On September 26, 2013, the panel issued an order of suspension of respondent's license, pursuant to MCR 9.115(H), effective October 3, 2013. A further hearing before the panel will be scheduled.
