IN THE SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE
AT NASHVILLE
June 1, 2017 Session
SEAN K. HORNBECK v. BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE SUPREME COURT OF TENNESSEE
Chancery Court for Davidson County
No. 15-509-III
No. M2016-01793-SC-R3-BP
JUDGMENT
This case was heard upon the entire record on direct appeal from the Chancery
Court for Davidson County and upon the briefs and argument of counsel. Upon
consideration thereof, we agree with conclusion of the hearing panel and the Chancery
Court that disbarment is the only appropriate sanction for the egregious misconduct in
which Appellant Sean K. Hornbeck engaged. We decline Mr. Hornbeckâs request to
make the effective date of his disbarment retroactive to the date of his temporary
suspension. Accordingly, the judgment of the Chancery Court is affirmed.
In accordance with the opinion filed herein, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that
the decision of the Chancery Court is affirmed, and Mr. Hornbeck is disbarred from the
practice of law in Tennessee, which disbarment is to be effective ten days after the entry of
this order. See Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.5 (2006). Costs in this appeal are to be taxed to
Appellant Sean K. Hornbeck and his surety, for which execution may issue, if necessary.
