Opinion
In the Supreme Court of Georgia
Decided: October 6, 2014
S14Y1454. IN THE MATTER OF MICHAEL B. SHANKLE.
PER CURIAM.
This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the petition for voluntary
surrender of license filed by Michael B. Shankle (State Bar No. 637635).
Shankle, who was admitted to the Bar in 1982, admits that he was disbarred in
North Carolina in 1997 for misappropriating client funds. He admits that by this
conduct he has violated Rule 9.4 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct
found in Bar Rule 4-102 (d). The State Bar recommends that the Court accept
the voluntary surrender.
We have reviewed the record and agree to accept Shankle’s petition for
the voluntary surrender of his license, which is tantamount to disbarment.
Accordingly, the name of Michael B. Shankle is hereby removed from the rolls
of persons entitled to practice law in the State of Georgia. Shankle is reminded
of his duties under Bar Rule 4-219 (c).
Voluntary surrender of license accepted. All the Justices concur.
