    KENTUCKY BAR ASSOCIATION, Movant, v. Stanley C. SUGGS, Respondent.
    No. 90-SC-307-KB.
    Supreme Court of Kentucky.
    Sept. 6, 1990.
   ORDER OF TEMPORARY SUSPENSION

Pursuant to SCR 3.165, we have considered the Petition of the Inquiry Tribunal, and supporting documents, and conclude that reasonable cause exists to believe the respondent has misappropriated funds he held for another to his own use or has otherwise improperly dealt with funds, and that he does not have the physical or mental fitness to continue to practice law. We further conclude that reasonable cause exists to believe that unless an order of temporary suspension is issued, a real and present danger exists to the public.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that respondent, Stanley C. Suggs, be and he is hereby temporarily suspended from the practice of law in this Commonwealth until further order of this Court.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT:

1. Within twenty (20) days from the date of entry of this order of suspension, respondent shall notify all clients in writing of his inability to continue to represent them and shall furnish photostat copies of the letters of notice to the Director of the Kentucky Bar Association.

2. The temporary suspension of respondent shall be effective with the entry of this order and shall continue in effect until such time as the merits of this disciplinary proceeding can be finally determined by this Court in accordance with SCR 3.370 or SCR 3.480 or until such time as respondent can show good cause why the order of temporary suspension should be amended or dissolved.

3. Such portion of this proceeding as contained in this order shall be deemed a matter of public record at this time. All other portions of the record shall be afforded the confidentiality required under SCR 3.150 unless otherwise directed by this Court.

4. Respondent shall pay the costs of these proceedings.

5. It is suggested that respondent also seek guidance and support from the Lawyers Helping Lawyers division of the Kentucky Bar Association.

All concur.
