BOPR DOCKET NOS. 2013-2233-5-AJ

ORDER OF ENFORCEMENT
This cause is before the Court upon the Affidavit of John E. Clemmons, of
Nashville, Davidson County, an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of
Tennessee. John E. Clemmons is subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee, pursuant to Rule 9 of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Tennessee.
It appears to the Court that John E. Clemmons has delivered to the Board of
Professional Responsibility an Affidavit in compliance with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 15. 1. 1
Mr. Clemmons has consented to disbarment because he cannot successfully defend
himself against the charges alleged in Board Docket Nos. 2013-2233-5-AJ, 2013-2169-5-
AJ (4.3) and 2013-2275-5-AJ (14) which are pending against him. It is conceded that
John E. Clemmons has violated Rules 1.3, 1.15, 3.4(c), 8.4(a), (b) and (c) of the Rules of
Professional Conduct.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed by the Court that:
1. John E. Clemmons is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in
Tennessee retroactive to the Order of Temporary Suspension entered by
this Court on April 2, 2013.
2. This Order of Enforcement shall be a matter of public record.
3. The Affidavit filed by Mr. Clemmons shall not be publicly disclosed or
made available for use in any other proceeding except upon further Order
of this Court.
Because this cause was initiated prior to January 1, 2014, it is governed by the pre-2014 version of Tenn. Sup. Ci. R. 9
4. Upon entry of this Order, the Order of Temporary Suspension entered on
April 2, 2013, is hereby dissolved.
5. Mr. Clemmons shall comply in all respects with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, §§ 18
and 19 regarding the requirements and obligations of disbarred attorneys
and the procedures for reinstatement.
6. Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 24.3, Mr. Clemmons shall pay to the
Board of Professional Responsibility the expenses and costs of this matter
in the amount of $1,192.87 within ninety (90) days of the date of the entry
of this Order, and in addition, shall pay to the Clerk of this Court the costs
incurred herein, for all of which execution may issue if necessary.
7. Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.5, this Order shall be effective ten
(10) days after the date of entry.
8. The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
disbarment to be published in accordance with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.10.
