The Indiana Supreme Court has reinstated a Crown Point attorney less than a week after she had been suspended from practicing law in the state.
The court issued the reinstatement order for Jamise Perkins four days after Perkins had been suspended.
According to the high court, on May 22 the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission filed a “Petition for Suspension of Attorney for Failure to Satisfy Costs Ordered in Connection with Certain Proceedings under Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23,” asserting that Perkins failed to pay costs assessed in a disciplinary action by the due date of the attorney’s annual registration fee (Oct. 1), in violation of the requirements of Indiana Admission and Discipline Rules 23(10.1)(d) or 23(21).
Perkins filed no response to the petition.
On July 9, the high court entered an order suspending Perkins from the practice of law in Indiana, effective 10 days after the order was entered.
Perkins filed a petition for reinstatement, reporting that she had paid in full the amount owed in unpaid costs and the $200 reinstatement fee owed.
Chief Justice Loretta Rush issued the reinstatement order, with all justices concurring.
