The court orders that the probation of BRIAN R. BIRD (Respondent), State Bar Number 257565, is revoked. The court further orders that:
1. Respondent is suspended from the practice of law for one year.
2. Respondent is given credit towards the one-year suspension for the period of involuntary inactive enrollment which commenced on May 13, 2024.
Respondent must comply with California Rules of Court, rule 9.20, and perform the acts specified in (a) and (c) of that rule within 30 and 40 calendar days, respectively, after the date this order is filed. (Athearn v. State Bar (1982) 32 Cal.3d 38, 45 [the operative date for identification of clients being represented in pending matters and others to be notified is the filing date of this order].) Failure to do so may result in disbarment or suspension. Respondent must also maintain the records of compliance as required by the conditions of probation.
