IN RE: JOSEPH JAMES DOHERTY, BPR #14295
An Attorney Licensed to Practice Law in Tennessee
(Hamblen County)
I F 10

No. M2013-02823-SC-BAR-BP
BOPR No. 2013-2279-1-KH(4.3) Clerk of the Courts

ORDER OF TEMPORARY SUSPENSION

This matter is before the Court on a Petition of the Board of Professional
Responsibility of the Supreme Court of Tennessee, by and through Disciplinary Counsel,
for the temporary suspension of Joseph James Doherty from the practice of law, pursuant
to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3. The Petition has been authorized by the Chair of the Board
of Professional Responsibility and is supported by the affidavit of Eileen Burkhalter
Smith, Disciplinary Counsel.

Based upon the Petition and the supporting Affidavit, the Court finds Joseph
James Doherty, Respondent, has failed to respond to the Board of Professional
Responsibility concerning a complaint of misconduct.

It is therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed by the Court that:

1. Joseph James Doherty is hereby temporarily suspended from the practice of
law as provided in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3.

2. Joseph James Doherty shall comply with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9 in all respects
and particularly as provided in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 18.

3. Joseph James Doherty may make application for dissolution or
modification of this Order as provided in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 4.3.

4. The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
suspension of Joseph James Doherty to be published as required by Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, §
18.10.

FOR THE COURT:
