¶1' PUBLISHED ORDER RESCINDING AND WITHDRAWING ORDER OF SUSPENSION
¶2On July 17, 2015, this Court ordered Respondent to show cause why he should not be immediately suspended from the practice of law for failure to cooperate with the Commission’s investigation of' grievances. On September 18, 2015, this Court issued an order suspending Respondent from the practice of law for noncooperation with the Commission, effective immediately. That order noted that "Respondent has not submitted a response to the Court’s order to show cause.”
¶3It has now come to the Court’s attention that Respondent in fact did tender to the Clerk a response to the show cause order, but that response was not filed by the Clerk, noted on the chronological case summary, or transmitted from the Clerk to the Court. See Clerk’s “Affidavit,” attached to this order.
¶4Being duly advised, the Court hereby RESCINDS and WITHDRAWS the order of suspension issued in this cause on September 18, 2015. The Clerk is directed to make an appropriate nunc pro tunc entry on the Roll of Attorneys removing reference to Respondent’s being suspended on September 18, 2015.
¶5The Commission’s “Request for Ruling and to Tax Costs,” filed on August 11, 2015, remains pending and will be considered by the Court, together with Respondent’s response to the show cause order, in due course.
