The Grievance Administrator and respondent’s counsel filed a Consent to Transfer Respondent to Inactive Status Pursuant to MCR 9.121(B) on February 26, 2021, stating that respondent is currently unable to continue the practice of law because of his medical incapacity due to mental and physical infirmity or disability within the meaning of MCR 9.121 (B)(1), and as alleged in the complaint filed in this matter.
