Suspension
Shane E. Beal, of Grant County, has been suspended for noncooperation, with the suspension effective immediately, according to an Aug. 7, 2012, order. In April, the justices ordered Beal to show cause why he shouldn’t be immediately suspended for failure to cooperate with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission’s investigation of a grievance filed against him. He is also ordered to pay $523 in costs.
Resignation
Richard S. Tebik, of Lake County, has resigned from the bar, effective immediately, according to an Aug. 7, 2012, order. Tebik submitted his resignation in May following allegations that he had been practicing law while suspended. The Supreme Court suspended Tebik in December 2009, but he admitted to preparing trust documents and other documents for a person in 2010 and 2011.
Tebik must wait five years before applying for reinstatement. His resignation renders any disciplinary investigation pending as moot.•
