ON APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT. ____________________ {¶ 1} This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an application for reinstatement by respondent, Angela Rochelle Stokes, Attorney Registration No. 0025650, last known address in Bratenahl, Ohio. {¶ 2} The court coming now to consider its order of December 18, 2014, wherein the court, pursuant to former Gov.Bar R.

V(24). {¶ 3} Therefore, it is ordered by this court that respondent is reinstated to the practice of law in the state of Ohio. It is further ordered that respondent’s reinstatement is conditioned upon her continued compliance with her agreement to never run for, seek, accept appointment to, or hold any judicial position in any Ohio state court, excluding federal court positions. {¶ 4} It is further ordered that the clerk of this court issue certified copies of this order as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(17)(D)(1) and that publication be made as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(17)(D)(2). {¶ 5} For earlier case, see Disciplinary Counsel v. Stokes, 143 Ohio St.3d 1217, 2014-Ohio-5536, 35 N.E.3d 524.
