    In the MATTER OF: Kraig A. KENWORTHY, Respondent
    Supreme Court Case No. 18S-DI-589
    Supreme Court of Indiana.
    FILED January 11, 2019
    Published Order of Interim Suspension from the Practice of Law
    The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission has filed a "Verified Petition For Order Of Emergency Interim Suspension Pursuant To Indiana Admission And Discipline Rule 23, § 11.1(b)," 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 has not filed an answer to the petition. See Admis. Disc. R. 23 (11.1)(b)(3). Instead, Respondent has filed a "Verified Notice of Insufficient Service of Process" and an accompanying affidavit. Respondent's pleadings confirm that personal service of the Commission's verified petition was accomplished on November 30, 2018. Respondent's remaining challenges to the manner of service are without merit. See Admis. Disc. Rs. 23(11.1)(b)(2), 23(12)(c).
    Being duly advised, the Court now GRANTS the Commission's verified 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.
