Reinstatement
Shane E. Beal, of Grant County, had his suspension terminated by the Indiana Supreme Court as of Aug. 23, per an Aug. 27, 2012, order. The justices suspended Beal for failure to cooperate. His failure to pay any outstanding costs assessed in this case by the due date of the next annual registration fee will subject Beal to an order of suspension, the justices decided.
