The Tennessee Supreme Court on Sept. 16 suspended Connecticut lawyer Wesley Shelman Spears from the practice of law in this state for one year. The suspension will be served consecutive to a two-year suspension Spears is currently subject to, according to a press release from the court. The court took the action after the State of Connecticut Superior Court imposed a one-year suspension on Spears on April 3. The Tennessee court notes that it gave Spears the opportunity to explain why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed but he did not respond to the request.
