IN RE: Robbin STEWART (2026)

Published Order Approving Statement of Circumstances and Conditional Agreement for Discipline

Pursuant to Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 23(12.1)(b), the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission and Respondent have submitted for approval a “Statement of Circumstances and Conditional Agreement for Discipline” stipulating agreed facts and proposed discipline as summarized below.

Stipulated Facts: While representing himself in an ordinance violation matter brought by the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County (HHC), Respondent sent an aggressive and profane email to the HHC attorney that was reasonably perceived as threatening in nature. As a result, the next hearing scheduled in the case was converted from in-person to remote due to safety concerns.

Although Respondent appears frequently on his own behalf in matters brought by the HHC, he has not otherwise practiced law since approximately 2005. Respondent has apologized to the HHC attorney involved, and the conditional agreement reflects this email was an isolated incident and no concerns about Respondent's professionalism or conduct prior or subsequent to this matter have been reported.

Violation: The parties agree that Respondent violated Indiana Professional Conduct Rule 8.4(d), which prohibits engaging in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.

Discipline: The parties propose the appropriate discipline is a public reprimand. The Court, having considered the submissions of the parties, now approves the agreed discipline and imposes a public reprimand for Respondent's misconduct.

The costs of this proceeding are assessed against Respondent. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Court hereby orders Respondent to pay $250.00 by check made payable and transmitted to the Clerk of the Indiana Supreme Court. Additional expenses taxable under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(21)(a), if any, will be submitted separately.

With the acceptance of this agreement, the hearing officer appointed in this case is discharged with the Court's appreciation.

Loretta H. Rush, Chief Justice of Indiana

All Justices concur.
