The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, pursuant to Ind. sion and Discipline Rule 28(11.1), has filed its Notice of G@milty Finding and Request for Suspension in this matter, therein requesting that this Court suspend the respondent, Thadd Eric Evans, from the practice of law in this state until final resolution of the disciplinary charges pending against him.
