ORDER
This 20th day of November 2014, it appears to the Court that Christopher
Tease, Esquire, has filed a petition requesting to be transferred to disability inactive
status. The Office of Disciplinary Counsel does not oppose the petition. According
to the unopposed petition, Tease currently is suffering mental or physical incapacity
which prevents him from both the practice of law and the ability to assist in his
defense of pending matters.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Tease shall immediately be
transferred to disability inactive status pursuant to Rule 19(b) of the Rules of
Disciplinary Procedure. The pending disciplinary matters are stayed. The ODC may
publicize Tease’s transfer to disability inactive status under Rule 19(d).
BY THE COURT:
