ORDER
This matter comes before the Court upon the Board's Motion to Vacate the Order
of Enforcement entered by this Court on August 13, 2015, approving the final judgment
of a hearing panel. The Order of Enforcement imposed a suspension of one (1) year,
effective ten (10) days after entry of the Order, August 23, 2015.
On September 1, 2015, William Caldwell Hancock filed a motion with this Court
seeking a stay of the Court's Order of Enforcement and seeking remand and
consideration of his request for relief. Mr. Hancock contended that he did not receive
notice of the final Judgment entered by the Chancery Court of Davidson County and he
requested an opportunity to file a notice of appeal. He also requested a stay ofthe one(1)
year suspension imposed by the Order of Enforcement.
On September 23, 2015, this Court entered an Order remanding the matter to the
Chancery Court. On September 29, 2015, the Chancery Court withdrew its final
Judgment and re-entered it, thereby initiating a new period to appeal.

Based on the foregoing, this Court finds that it is appropriate to vacate the Order
of Enforcement entered on August 13, 2015.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND
DECREED THAT:
The Order of Enforcement entered on August 13, 2015 is vacated and Mr.
Hancock shall be returned to active status as of the date of entry of this Order.
