Disability Inactive Status with respect to attorney Mark Christopher Sevier, pursuant to Tenn.
Sup. Ct. R. 9, Section 21.2. The Court has thoroughly reviewed the Petition, and the exhibits
thereto, and the Opposition filed by Mr. Savior, from which the Court ï¬nds that the factual
grounds stated in the Petition are wellufounded and are admitted by Mr. Sevier. The Court,
therefore, concludes that Mr. Sevier is presently incapacitated from continuing to practice law by
reason of mental inï¬rmity orillness, and concludes that the Petition should be granted.
Accordingly, the Court Orders that Mark Chï¬stopher Sevier is transferred to disability
inactive status for an indeï¬nite period and until further order of this Court. The. Court further
Orders that the disciplinary proceeding pending against Mark Christopher Soviet (BOPR Docket
No. 2010«1994â5 -I(H) is suspended until such time as Mr. Sevier is reinstated to active status by
Order ofthis Gururt.l
