Columbus Bar Ass'n v. Smith

On May 23, 2002, in case No. 2002-0583, Columbus Bar Association v. Charles E. Smith, this court suspended respondent under an interim remedial suspension. On November 22, 2002, relator, Columbus Bar Association, filed a motion for order to appear and show cause, requesting the court to issue an order directing Charles E.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of this court issue certified copies of this order as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(8)(D)(1).
