ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 18th day of July, 2019, upon consideration of the Report and
Recommendations of the Designated Board Member, the probation order for Adam J.
Rodgers dated June 1, 2016, is modified as follows:
1. Respondent shall obtain a new sponsor in Narcotics or Alcoholics Anonymous,
who is not a blood relative;
2. Respondent shall maintain weekly contact with that sponsor;
3. Respondent shall provide the name of his new sponsor to his appointed sobriety
monitor;
4. Respondent shall file monthly written reports with the Disciplinary Board; and
5. The other conditions of the June 1, 2016 Order shall remain in effect.
Respondent shall pay the additional expenses incurred as a result of the probation
revocation proceedings. See Pa.R.D.E. 208(g).
Justices Baer and Mundy dissent. Due to Respondent’s inability to conform his
conduct to both the disciplinary rules and the probationary conditions set forth in this
Court’s order of June 1, 2016, they would issue a rule to show cause why Respondent’s
probation should not be revoked.
