Opinion

ORDER OF SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN ATTORNEYS FOR FAILURE TO PAY ATTORNEY REGISTRATION FEES and/or FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

The Clerk of the Court has notified this Court that certain attorneys have failed either to pay the annual registration fee required for them to be licensed to practice law in Indiana, or to file an exemption affidavit as contemplated by Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 2. In addition, the Indiana Commission for Continuing Legal Education has notified the Court that certain attorneys have failed to comply with the continuing legal education requirements of Admission and Discipline Rule 29, Sections 3 or 10.

The Court finds that the attorneys listed on Exhibit A, which is attached to and expressly made a part of this order, have not complied with the Admission and Discipline Rules mentioned above, the basis or bases of their noncompliance being listed to the immediate right of each attorney's bar number. Accordingly, this Court finds that such attorneys should be and therefore ARE SUSPENDED from the practice of law in the State of Indiana.

Although the suspension is effective as of the date of this order for purposes of the reinstatement procedures that must be followed and/or any reinstatement fees that must be paid for reinstatement, the Court directs that the proscription against the actual practice of law will go into ef-feet at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, June 7, 2010. The delay from the date of this order to the suspension date is for the sole purpose of allowing time for copies of this order to be sent, received, and acted upon by the suspended attorneys. Any attorney whose name appears on Exhibit A may be reinstated by complying with the applicable reinstatement procedures and by paying any applicable penalties. The reinstatement procedure for nonpayment of attorney fees can be found in Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 2(h). The reinstatement procedure for failure to comply with continuing legal education requirements can be found in Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 29, section 10(b). These rules can be found at http:// www. in. gov/judiciary/rules/ad._dis/index. html.

Certain attorneys may have asked the Commission for extensions of time within which to comply with the Rules governing continuing legal education requirements. If the Commission has decided that sufficient reasons exist to grant an extension, as provided in Admission and Discipline Rule 29, Section 8, then the attorney's name will not appear on the list of suspended attorneys attached to this order.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to forward a copy of this Order and the suspension list, Exhibit A, to the Executive Secretary of the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission; to the Executive Director of the Indiana Board of Law Examiners; to the Executive Director of the Indiana Commission for Continuing Legal Education; to the Supreme Court Administrator; to the Executive Director of State Court Administration; to the Indiana State Bar Association; to the Clerk of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana; to the Clerk *350 of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana; to all Clerks of the Cireuit Courts of this State who, with the aid of the Judge of the Cireuit Court in which that Clerk serves, shall post this Order for examination by the members of the bar; and to each of the attorneys listed on Exhibit A whose address is on the roll of attorneys.

All Justices concur.
