The Tennessee Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request from Carroll County lawyer Benjamin Dempsey to “supplement, complete and correct the record” in the matter of his suspension from the practice of law. The court suspended Dempsey for five years on Aug. 21, with three years to be served on active suspension and the remainder on conditional probation, after he agreed to a conditional guilty plea. The court made the suspension retroactive to Aug. 16, 2018, the date of his temporary suspension. On Sept. 4, Dempsey filed the motion to correct the record, which the Board of Professional Conduct opposed. The court said it reviewed all materials before rejecting Dempsey’s motion.
