Effective August 30, 2011 Based upon an order entered by the Indiana Supreme Court, respondent's inactive license to practice law in that state for was suspended for 180 days, without automatic reinstatement.

The Attorney Discipline Board assigned this matter to a hearing panel and ordered respondent to show cause why a reciprocal order of discipline should not be entered in accordance with MCR 9.104
On August 8, 2011, the heaiing panel ordered that respondent should be reprimanded and assessed costs in the amount of $1,830.57.
