ORDER GRANTING PETITION
This is a joint petition by the State Bar of Nevada and attorney Jeffrey S. Galvin for Garvin's resignation from the Nevada bar.
SCR 93(5) provides that Nevada attorneys who are not actively practicing law in this state may resign from the state bar if certain conditions are met. The petition includes statements from state bar staff confirming that no disciplinary, fee dispute arbitration, or client security fund matters are pending against Galvin; and that Galvin is current on all membership fee payments and other financial commitments relating to the practice of law in this state. See SCR 93(5)(a)(1)-(2).
Bar counsel has recommended that the resignation be approved, and the Board of Governors has approved the application for resignation. See SCR 93(5)(a)(2). Galvin acknowledges that this resignation is irrevocable and that the state bar retains continuing jurisdiction with respect to matters involving a past member's conduct prior to resignation. See SCR 93(5)(c)-(d). Finally, Galvin has submitted an affidavit of compliance with SCR 115. See SCR 93(5)(e).
The petition satisfies the requirements of SCR 93(5). Accordingly, we approve attorney Jeffrey S. Galvin's resignation. SCR 93(5)(a)(2). The petition is hereby granted.
It is so ORDERED.
