CORRECTED ORDER
This matter originated in this court on the filing of a report by the Commission on Continuing Legal Education (the "commission") pursuant to Gov.Bar R. X(6)(A)(1)(b) and (A)(2)(d). The commission recommended the imposition of sanctions against certain attorneys, including the above-named respondent, for failure to comply with the applicable continuing legal education provisions of Gov.Bar R. X and Gov.Jud.R. IV for the 2005-2006 reporting period.
On January 25, 2008, pursuant to Gov.Bar R. X(6)(B)(1), this court issued to the respondent an order to show cause why the commission's recommendation should not be adopted and an order so entered against the respondent. Respondent filed objections to the commission's recommendation, the commission filed an answer brief, and this cause was considered by the court. Upon consideration thereof,
It is ordered by the court that respondent shall pay to the Commission on Continuing Legal Education, within 30 days of the date of this order, by certified check or money order, a sanction fee which is hereby imposed in the total amount of $150.00. It is further ordered that recommendation of suspension shall be dismissed on the conditions that respondent take the New Lawyers Training Course and pay the $300.00 late fee to the commission on or before June 30, 2008.
It is further ordered that the respondent shall not be deemed to be in good standing with the Supreme Court of Ohio if the respondent has not complied with this order, but that this order shall not be considered a disciplinary order pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V or Gov.Bar R. X(6)(H).
It is further ordered that the commission shall notify the Clerk of the court when payment of the imposed sanction has been made by respondent.
It is further ordered that, payment of the sanction notwithstanding, respondent shall comply with the requirements imposed by Gov.Bar R. X for the 2005-2006 reporting period. See CLE Reg. 503.4.
