ORDER
The records in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court show that on June 29, 1993, petitioner was admitted and enrolled as a member of the Bar of this State. On March 1, 2007, the South Carolina Bar suspended petitioner for non-payment of her license fees. On April 4, 2007, the Court suspended petitioner for non-payment of her license fees.
By letter dated April 13, 2007, petitioner submitted her resignation. She asserts that she made inquiries about resigning prior to the issuance of the suspensions and, accordingly, requests that her resignation be made effective prior to her suspensions by the Bar and the Court.
We accept petitioner's resignation. However, we deny petitioner's request that her resignation be made effective prior to her suspensions by the Bar and the Court.
Within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this order, petitioner shall deliver her certificate to practice law in this State to the Clerk of the Supreme Court. In addition, petitioner shall promptly notify, or cause to be notified, by certified mail, return receipt requested, all clients currently being represented in pending matters in this State, of her resignation. Finally, within fifteen (15) days of the issuance of this order, petitioner shall file an affidavit with the Clerk of the Supreme Court showing that she has fully complied with the provisions of this order. The resignation of Tammie T. McConnell shall be effective upon full compliance with this order. Her name shall be removed from the roll of attorneys.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
