ORDER OF IMMEDIATE INTERIM SUSPENSION

¶1 The Oklahoma Bar Association (OBA), in compliance with Rule 7.1 and 7.2 of the Rules Governing Disciplinary Proceedings (RGDP), has forwarded to this Court certified copies of the Criminal Informations, and Pleas, in which Ian Michael Shahan entered: 1) a plea of guilty to one count of Public Intoxication, a misdemeanor in violation of 37 O.S.2011 § 8, occurring on November 15, 2014; 2) a plea of guilty to one count of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, a misdemeanor in violation of 47 O.S.2011 § 11-902(A)(2), occurring on February 6, 2015; and 3) a plea of no contest to one count of Leaving the Scene of Collision Involving Property Damage, a misdemeanor in violation of 47 O.S.2011 § 10-103, occurring on February 6, 2015. The OBA also forwarded certified copies of the sentence of a fine for the Public Intoxication, and the deferred sentences for the charges of DUI and Leaving the Scene.
¶2 Rule 7.3 of the RGDP provides: "Upon receipt of the certified copies of Judgment and Sentence on a plea of guilty, order deferring judgment and sentence, indictment or information and the judgment and sentence, the Supreme Court shall by order immediately suspend the lawyer from the practice of law until further order of the Court." Having received certified copies of these papers and orders, this Court orders that Ian Michael Shahan is immediately suspended from the practice of law. Ian Michael Shahan is directed to show cause, if any, no later than February 11, 2016, why this order of interim suspension should be set aside. See RGDP Rule 7.3. The OBA has until February 22, 2016, to respond.
¶3 Rule 7.2 of the RGDP provides that a certified copy of a plea of guilty, an order deferring judgment and sentence, or information and judgment and sentence of conviction "shall constitute the charge and be conclusive evidence of the commission of the crime upon which the judgment and sentence is based and shall suffice as the basis for discipline in accordance with these rules." Pursuant to Rule 7.4 of the RGDP, Ian Michael Shahan has until March 9, 2016, to show cause in writing why a final order of discipline should not be imposed, to request a hearing, or to file a brief and any evidence tending to mitigate the severity of discipline. The OBA has until March 25, 2016, to respond.
¶4 DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT this 1st day of February, 2016.
