The Tennessee Supreme Court, in an order issued yesterday, directed the Board of Professional Responsibility to respond to a filing from Hamilton County lawyer Shaheen Iltaf Imami that reciprocal discipline should not be imposed, after the state of Michigan imposed a public reprimand with conditions on April 24. On June 7, Imami filed a response with the court relying on Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4 to argue that identical discipline should not be imposed in Tennessee. The board is directed to file its response to that argument no later than Aug. 1.
