Opinion
Case No. SC03-1932.
January 22, 2004.
Lower Tribunal No. 2004-30,047(09A)CRS.
Respondent's uncontested petition for disciplinary resignation, as provided by Rule 3-7.12, Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, with leave to seek readmission after five (5) years, is granted subject to the continuing jurisdiction of this Court. See Florida Bar v. Ross, 732 So.2d 1037, 1040-42 (Fla. 1998). Disciplinary resignation is tantamount to disbarment. Florida Bar v. Hale, 762 So.2d 515 (Fla. 2000). The disciplinary resignation shall be effective immediately.
Further, respondent must comply with all terms and conditions in the petition.
Judgment is entered for The Florida Bar, 651 East Jefferson Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300, for recovery of costs from Robert William Boyd in the amount of $1,000.44, for which sum let execution issue.
Not final until time expires to file motion for rehearing, and if filed, determined. The filing of a motion for rehearing shall not alter the effective date of this resignation. As with disbarment, in seeking readmission to The Florida Bar, respondent "may be admitted again only upon full compliance with the rules and regulations governing admission to the bar." R. Regulating Fla. Bar 3-7.10(n).
