ORDER OF TEMPORARY SUSPENSION

This matter is before the Court on a Petition of the Board of Professional
Responsibility of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, by and through Disciplinary Counsel,
for the temporary suspension of Billy J. Reed from the practice of law, pursuant to Tenn.
Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3. The Petition has been authorized by the Chair of the Board of
Professional Responsibility and is supported by the affidavit of Kevin D. Balkwill,
Disciplinary Counsel.

Based upon the Petition and the supporting Affidavit, the Court finds that Billy J.
Reed, Respondent, has failed to respond to the Board of Professional Responsibility
concerning a complaint of misconduct.

It is therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed by the Court that:

1. Billy J. Reed is hereby temporarily suspended from the practice of law as
provided in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3.

2. Billy J. Reed shall comply with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9 in all respects and
particularly as provided in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.

3. Billy J. Reed may make application for dissolution or modification of this
Order as provided in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3.

4. The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
suspension of Billy J. Reed to be published as required by Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.10.
