ORDER REGARDING DISABILITY INACTIVE STATUS The State Bar and attorney Mark Peplowski filed a joint petition alleging that Peplowski is suffering from a disability due to physical infirmity, illness, or addiction that makes it impossible for him to defend a pending disciplinary proceeding or to continue the practice of law. Based on the petition, this court transferred him to disability inactive status and referred the matter to a disciplinary board to determine Peplowski's capacity to practice law. Thereafter, a hearing panel of the Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board concluded Peplowski is incapacitated for the purposes of practicing law because of mental infirmity, illness, or addiction and recommends Peplowski remain on disability inactive status. Having reviewed the record, we agree with the hearing panel's recommendation.

SUPREME COURT OF 2. ditto fo NEVADA

(0) 1947A al$IMIrc. Accordingly, attorney Mark Peplowski shall remain on disability inactive status and the pending disciplinary proceeding against him is suspended. SCR 117(2). It is so ORDERED.'
