IN THE MATTER OF THE STRIKING OF NAMES OF MEMBERS OF THE OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION FOR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH MANDATORY CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE YEAR 2018
FOR PUBLICATION IN OBJ ONLY. NOT FOR OFFICIAL PUBLICATION.
ORDER STRIKING NAMES
The Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Bar Association filed an application for an Order Striking Names of attorneys from the Oklahoma Bar Association's membership rolls and from the practice of law in the State of Oklahoma for failure to comply with the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, 5 O.S. 2001, ch. 1, app. 1-B, for the year 2018.
Pursuant to Rule 6(d) of the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, the Oklahoma Bar Association's members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, were suspended from membership in the Association and the practice of law in the State of Oklahoma by Order of this Court on June 10, 2019, for noncompliance with Rules 3 and 5 of the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education for the year 2018. Based on its application, this Court finds that the Board of Governors determined at their August 28, 2020, meeting that none of the Oklahoma Bar Association's members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, have applied for reinstatement within one year of the suspension order. Further the Board of Governors requested that the members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, shall cease to be members of the Oklahoma Bar Association and their names should therefore be stricken from its membership rolls and the Roll of Attorneys. This Court finds that the actions of the Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Bar Association are in compliance with the Rules.
It is therefore ordered that the attorneys named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, are hereby stricken from the Roll of Attorneys for failure to comply with the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education for the year 2018.
DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE THIS 14th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2020.
