ORDER DISSOLVING TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
On June 6, 2022, the Board of Professional Responsibility filed a petition for
temporary suspension of Stephanie Branam Johnson pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R.
9, section 12.3, based on her failure to respond to the Board. On June 13, 2022, this
Court granted the Boardâs petition and temporarily suspended Ms. Johnson.
On July 1, 2022, Ms. Johnson filed this petition for dissolution of order of
temporary suspension, stating that she has fully responded to the Board. On July 7,
2022, the Board filed a response with this Court, admitting that âPetitioner, on July
1, 2022, provided responses to the Boardâs prior requests for information which
Disciplinary Counsel has reviewed and deems responsive to the previous request.â
The Board also stated that, given Ms. Johnsonâs responses, there is no reason under
Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 12.3 (d) to hold a hearing on her petition for dissolution of
temporary suspension.
Upon due consideration, Ms. Johnsonâs petition is GRANTED. Accordingly,
Ms. Johnson is entitled to immediate dissolution of the temporary suspension.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND
DECREED BY THE COURT THAT:
1. The temporary suspension imposed upon Stephanie Branam Johnson
by Order of Temporary Suspension entered June 13, 2022, is hereby dissolved.
2. The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
reinstatement to be published as required by Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 28.11.
PER CURIAM
