    In the MATTER OF: Kirmille D. LEWIS, Respondent
    Supreme Court Case No. 18S-DI-102
    Supreme Court of Indiana.
    Filed March 22, 2018
    Published Order of Interim Suspension from the Practice of Law
    The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission has filed a verified emergency petition for order of interim suspension pursuant to Admission and Discipline Rule 23 (11.1)(b), as well as a verified supplement to that petition, requesting that Respondent be suspended immediately from the practice of law in this State, pending further order of this Court or final resolution of any resulting disciplinary action, due to alleged misconduct that may cause Respondent's continued practice of law during the pendency of a disciplinary investigation or proceeding to pose a substantial threat of harm to the public, clients, potential clients, or the administration of justice. Respondent filed no answer to the petition. Thus, Respondent has waived the right to contest the petition. See Admis. Disc. R. 23 (11.1)(b)(4).
    Being duly advised, the Court now GRANTS the petition and ORDERS that Respondent be suspended from the practice of law in this State, effective immediately. Respondent is ordered to fulfill the duties of a suspended attorney under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(26). The suspension shall continue until further order of this Court or final resolution of any resulting disciplinary action.
   All Justices concur.
