This matter is before the Court on The Florida Bar's Petition for Contempt and Order to Show Cause.

The Court having issued its Order to Show Cause to respondent and respondent having filed a response to said Order to Show Cause,

IT IS ORDERED that respondent is held in contempt of this Court's orders in Florida Board of Bar Examiners Re: M.T.M., 221 So.3d 526 (Fla. 2017), and Florida Board of Bar Examiners Re: M.T.M., 240 So.3d 631 (Fla. 2018). As a sanction, respondent's conditional admission is revoked, effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies this Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the revocation effective immediately. Respondent shall thereafter not be a member of The Florida Bar and shall not engage in the practice of law in the State of Florida.

Respondent shall pay the monitoring fees in the amount of $600.00, to The Florida Bar within thirty days of this order.

Judgment is entered for The Florida Bar, 651 East Jefferson Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300, for recovery of costs from Matthew Troy McClellan in the amount of $1,250.00, for which sum let execution issue.
