In the Matter of a Member of the Bar of the Supreme Court of Delaware SEAN K. HORNBECK, Respondent.

No. 358, 2009.Supreme Court of Delaware.Submitted: June 19, 2009.
Decided: June 29, 2009.

Board Case No. 2008-0740-B.

Before STEELE, Chief Justice, JACOBS
and RIDGELY, Justices.

ORDER
HENRY DUPONT RIDGELY, Justice.

This 29th day of June 2009, it appears to the Court that the Board on Professional Responsibility, in accordance with Rule 18(d) of the Rules of the Delaware Lawyers’ Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, has recommended the Respondent be placed on disability inactive. On January 14, 2009, the Supreme Court of Tennessee ordered the Respondent be transferred to disability inactive status for an indefinite period of time. Neither the Respondent nor the Office of Disciplinary Counsel opposes the Board’s recommendation of reciprocal disability inactive status.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. The Respondent is hereby transferred to disability inactive status until such time as he can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that any disabilities have been removed;
2. The Respondent shall pay the costs of these disciplinary proceedings, pursuant to Rule 27 of the Delaware Lawyers’ Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, promptly upon presentation of a statement of costs by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel; and
3. This Order shall be disseminated by the ODC in accordance with Rule 14 of the Delaware Lawyers’ Rules of Disciplinary Procedure.
