The Chief Disciplinary Counsel having filed with said information, pursuant to Rule 5.13, a notice of default, notifying the Court that Respondent, Brandy Mellissa McShane, failed to timely file an answer or other response within the time required although Respondent was properly served;

Therefore, pursuant to Rule 5.13, Respondent is in default.

Further, the Chief Disciplinary Counsel having filed a recommendation for discipline and suggestions in support thereof; and

Respondent having filed suggestions in support of a particular discipline and a motion for leave to file an answer out of time, it is hereby ordered that Respondent’s motion to file an answer out of time is overruled;
