¶1ORDER REJECTING RESIGNATION AND IMPOSING SUSPENSION PENDING PROSECUTION
¶2Comes now William R. Long, Respondent in this case, and tenders for this Court's consideration a letter of resignation and "Affidavit". And comes now the Honora ble George N. Beamer, the duly appointed Hearing Officer in this case, and presents his report and recommendation for immediate suspension.
¶3Upon examination of the matters now before this court, we find that the "affidavit" submitted by the Respondent does not comply with Admission and Discipline Rule *63823, Section 17, and, accordingly, should not be accepted. We further find, that the report and recommendation of the appointed Hearing Officer should be accepted and the Respondent should be suspended from the practice of law pending the outcome of this disciplinary proceeding.

¶5IT IS, FURTHER, ORDERED that the letter of resignation tendered by William R. Long is rejected.
