    In the Matter of Edwin D. SINGLETON.
    No. 26S00-0510-DI-491.
    Supreme Court of Indiana.
    Oct. 2, 2006.
   ORDER CONVERTING SUSPENSION FOR NONCOOPERATION WITH THE DISCIPLINARY PROCESS TO INDEFINITE SUSPENSION

On January 6, 2006, pursuant to Ind. Admission and Discipline Rule 28 § 10(f), this Court suspended respondent, Edwin D. Singleton, from the practice of law in this state for failing to provide to the Disciplinary Commission a response to a grievance filed against him. The Disciplinary Commission has now moved to have respondent's suspension converted to an indefinite suspension from the practice of law pursuant to Admis.Disc.R. 23 § Respondent has not responded to the Commission's motion to convert his current suspension.

We now find that more than six months have passed since respondent was suspended due to his noncooperation with the disciplinary process. Accordingly, given the passage of time and respondent's continued failure to cooperate with the disciplinary process, we further find that respondent's suspension should be converted to an indefinite suspension from the practice of law, pursuant to Admis.Disc.R. 28 § 10(f)(4).

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the current suspension from the practice of law of respondent, Edwin D. Singleton, for failure to cooperate with the disciplinary process is hereby converted to an indefinite suspension, effective immediately. Accordingly, in order to become readmitted to the practice of law in this state, respondent must successfully petition this Court for readmittance pursuant to Ad-mis. Disc. R. 28 § 4.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to forward notice of this order to respondent by certified mail, return receipt requested, at his address as reflected in the Roll of Attorneys; to the Disciplinary Commission; and as provided in Admis.Disc.R. 28 § 3(d), and to post this Order on the Court's website for orders concerning final resolution of attorney disciplinary cases.

All Justices concur.
