In re O'Farrell

ORDER OF SUSPENSION UPON NOTICE OF GUILTY FINDING

Comes now the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission and, pursuant to Ind. Admission and Discipline Rule 23, Section 11.1(a)(2), files a Motion for Suspension Upon Notice of Guilty Finding, requesting that the respondent, Scot A. O’Farrell, be immediately suspended from the practice of law in this state pending further order of this Court or final resolution of any resulting disciplinary action, due to his being found guilty of a crime punishable as a felony. The respondent has filed a reply to the Commission’s request for suspension, and the Commission has responded thereto.

And this Court, being duly advised and upon careful consideration of all materials submitted, now finds that the respondent has been found guilty of a crime punishable as a felony, to wit on June 4, 2002, the respondent was adjudged guilty of one count of operating vehicle while intoxicated, a Class D felony, in the Hendricks Superior Court 2. Accordingly, we find that the Commission’s request for the respondent’s suspension from the practice of law upon notice of guilty finding should be granted.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the respondent, Scot A. O’Farrell, is hereby suspended pendente lite from the practice of law in this state, effective immediately. The suspension shall continue until further order of this Court.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to send notice of this Order by certified or registered mail to the respondent or his attorney, to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, and to all other entities pursuant to the provisions of Ad-misJDisc.R. 23(3)(d).

All Justices concur.
