No. CLE-2006-38882.Supreme Court of Ohio.
Filed May 24, 2007.
ORDER Miscellaneous Orders
This matter originated in this court on the filing of a report by the Commission on Continuing Legal Education (the “commission”) pursuant to Gov.Bar R. X(6)(A)(1)(b) and (A)(2)(d). The commission recommended the imposition of sanctions against certain attorneys, including the above-named respondent, for failure to comply with the applicable continuing legal education provisions of Gov.Bar R. X and Gov.Jud.R. IV for the 2004-2005 reporting period.
On December 29. 2006, pursuant to Gov.Bar R. X(6)(B)(1), this court issued to the respondent an order to show cause why the commission’s recommendation should not be adopted and an order so entered against the respondent. Respondent filed objections to the commission’s recommendation, requesting that he be permitted to make installment payments. This cause was considered by the court. Upon consideration thereof,
IT IS ORDERED by the court that respondent shall pay a sanction of $750.00 to the Commission on Continuing Legal Education. Respondent shall pay this sanction in five monthly installments of $150.00 each. The installments shall be due the first of each month, with the first payment due July 1, 2007, and the final payment due November 1, 2007. Payments shall be submitted to the Clerk’s Office by certified check or money order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the respondent shall not be deemed to be in good standing with the Supreme Court of Ohio until the sanction of $750.00 is paid in full and respondent has fully complied with this order. This order shall not be considered a disciplinary order pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V or Gov.Bar R. X(6)(H).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that payment of the sanction notwithstanding, respondent shall comply with the requirements imposed by Gov.Bar R. X for the 2004-2005 reporting period. See CLE Reg. 503.4.
