responsibilities of suspended attorneys and the procedure for reinstatement. Further, the
temporary suspension Order entered on April 30, 2013, in Case No. M2013-00998-SC-
BPR-BP, is hereby dissolved.
(4) Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.5 (2006), this Order shall be effective
ten (10) days after the date of entry.
(5) Prior to seeking reinstatement, Ms. Milton must meet all CLE requirements
and pay any outstanding registration fees including those due from the date of suspension

her suspension, it is recommended that Ms. Milton be required to have a practice monitor
