He was also given notice by the Order to Show Cause and at the August 7, 2012 hearing that he had to present more than just evidence that he was on probationary status as grounds for readmission. Mr. Klipstine had ample opportunity at the hearing to establish the ground of good standing in the state bar, but he is legally unable to do so. Therefore, the Court will deny his petition for readmission without prejudice to its refiling if, and when, Mr. Klipstine has successfully fulfilled his two-year period of probation and has been formally reinstated as a member in good standing in the New Mexico State Bar. See In re Smith, 329 Fed.Appx. 805, 808 (10th Cir.2009) (holding that the “district court ... did not abuse its discretion in denying his petition for reinstatement” where membership in good standing in the state bar was required before attorney could be admitted to the federal bar, and applicant had not been readmitted to state bar). IV. Concerns about Mr. Klipstine's behavior in this Court during his suspension and while not authorized to practice in this Court.
Mr. Williams has not presented this Court with the essential prerequisite for admission to the bar of this Court: he is not an active member of the bar of the state of Maine and he remains under disbarment. See In re Smith, 329 Fed. Appx. 805, 807 (10th Cir. 2009); In re Discipline of Price, 294 Fed. Appx 743, 744-45 (3rd Cir. 2008); In re Kandekore, 460 F.3d 276, 279-80 (2d Cir. 2006); In re Martin, 120 F.3d 256, 258-59 (Fed. Cir. 1997); In re the Matter of Reinstatement of Leaf, 41 F.3d 281, 284-85 (7th Cir. 1994); In re Smith, 100 F. Supp. 2d 412, 416 (N.D. Tex. 2000). Instead, Mr. Williams seeks reinstatement under a narrow window.
