Dear Mr. Durant:
As I stated in my February 4, 1981, letter to you, I have no desire to relinquish my membership in the South Carolina Bar. Unfortunately, though, according to your February 19, 1981 letter, if I am inactive and do not wish to pay yearly dues, I must resign.
It is therefore with regret that I submit my resignation from the South Carolina Bar. Please transmit my resignation to the Supreme Court for its acceptance.
Perhaps future attorneys in your state may not be forced to take similar action if an inactive membership category were established which would include persons in situations such as mine.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
s/ Michael K. Hagan Michael K. Hagan
