Tenn. Sup. Ct. Temp. Suspension Order.pdf

Okay, I need to create a concise summary of this legal document. Let me start by reading through the provided text carefully.

The document is an order from the Supreme Court of Tennessee regarding the temporary suspension of Judson Wheeler Phillips. The key points are that the Board of Professional Responsibility (BPR) filed a petition under Rule 9, Section 12.3, and there are supporting affidavits and a declaration. The court found that Phillips poses a threat of substantial harm to the public.

The order has four parts: temporary suspension, compliance with Rule 9, application for dissolution, and publication of notice. The date is August 8, 2018, and it's a per curiam decision.

I should make sure to mention the court, the case number, the respondent's name, the reason for suspension (threat to public), and the specific rules referenced. Also, note the dates and the per curiam part. Need to keep it in English, no markdown, just the summary. Let me check if I'm missing any important details. The BPR is involved, and the supporting documents include affidavits from Shipp, Jackson, Lewis, and Calchera's declaration. The suspension is temporary, and there's a process for applying to modify it. Also, the notice publication is required.

I need to structure this clearly but concisely. Start with the court and case details, then the action taken, the reason, and the specific terms of the suspension. Avoid any extra information not in the original text. Make sure it's all in one paragraph, as per the user's instruction. Let me put that all together now.

The Supreme Court of Tennessee, in Nashville, issued an order temporarily suspending Judson Wheeler Phillips, an attorney licensed in Davidson County, from practicing law under Rule 9, § 12.3. The decision follows a petition by the Board of Professional Responsibility, supported by affidavits from Preston Shipp (Disciplinary Counsel), Renee Jackson, Judith Lewis, and Basillio Calchera’s declaration under penalty of perjury, which established that Phillips poses a threat of substantial harm to the public. The court ordered Phillips to comply with Rule 9, § 28, regarding suspended attorneys’ responsibilities and permitted him to apply for dissolution or modification of the suspension per Rule 9, § 12.3. The Board was also directed to publish notice of the suspension as required by Rule 9, § 28.11. The order was issued on August 8, 2018, and signed by the court as a per curiam decision.
