This matter is before the Court upon a Petition for Discipline filed against Mark

to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3 (Case No. M2012-00980-SC-BPR-BP). Mr. Braswell has
not filed a petition for dissolution, and the Order of Temporary Suspension remains in

Ct. R. 9, §§ 4.2 and 4.7. In the event restitution is made by the Tennessee Lawyer's Fund
for Client Protection (TLFCP), Mr. Braswell shall reimburse TLFCP in the same amount.
Upon entry of this Order, the Temporary Suspension entered on May 22,
(2)
2012, pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3, shall be dissolved.
Additionally, Mr. Braswell shall comply in all aspects with Tenn. Sup. Ct.
(3)
R. 9, § 18 regarding the obligations and responsibilities of suspended attorneys.
Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.5, this Order shall be effective ten (10)
(4)
days after the date of entry.
Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 24.3, Mr. Braswell shall pay to the Board
(5)
of Professional Responsibility the expenses and costs of this matter in the amount of
$2,191.99 and shall pay to the Clerk of this Court the costs incurred herein within ninety
(90) days of the entry of this Order, for all of which execution may issue if necessary.
The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
(6)
