       In the above-entitled cause, the Clerk will enter:

       The respondent, Brian P. Dempsey, Esq., is a lawyer licensed to
  practice law in the State of Vermont.  Disciplinary counsel and respondent
  have filed a stipulation with the Court, with attached exhibits,
  stipulating that respondent be transferred to disability inactive status,
  effective immediately, until further order of the Court.  A hearing panel
  appointed by the Professional Responsibility Board has filed a report with
  the Court recommending that it adopt the stipulation.  Based on the
  stipulation of the parties, and the hearing panel's report and
  recommendation, the Court finds that respondent currently suffers from a
  disability which adversely affects his ability to practice law.  Therefore,
  pursuant to Rule 21.C of Administrative Order 9, the Court orders:

       1.    That respondent is transferred to disability inactive status,
  effective from the date of this order, until further order of the Court; 

       2. That respondent shall comply with the provisions of Rule 23 of
  Administrative Order 9;

       4.   That attorney John B. Webber, Esq.  is appointed as trustee to
  inventory the files of respondent and to protect the interests, financial
  and otherwise, of respondent and his clients.
