ORDER OF SUSPENSION FOR NONPAYMENT OF 2013 DUES
On June 11, 2013, the Oklahoma Bar Association's Board of Governors filed a recommendation for the suspension of its members who failed to pay dues for the year 2013 as required by the Rules Creating and Controlling the Oklahoma Bar Association (Rules), 5 O.S. 2011, ch. 1, app. 1, art. VIII, §1. The Board of Governors recommended that the members whose names appear on the list attached to the recommendation be suspended from membership in the Oklahoma Bar Association and from the practice of law in the State of Oklahoma, as provided by the Rules, 5 O.S. 2011, ch. 1, app. 1, art. VIII, §2.
This Court finds that on April 12, 2013, the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Bar Association notified by certified mail all persons delinquent in the payment of dues and/or expense charges to the Oklahoma Bar Association for the year 2013. The Board of Governors has found that the members set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto, have not paid their dues and/or expense charges for the year as provided in the Rules.
This Court, having considered the Board of Governors' recommendation and motion, finds that each of the Oklahoma Bar Association members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, should be suspended from membership in the Oklahoma Bar Association.
It is therefore ordered that the attorneys named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, are hereby suspended from membership in the Oklahoma Bar Association and from the practice of law in the State of Oklahoma for failure to pay membership dues for the year 2013 as required by the Rules Creating and Controlling the Oklahoma Bar Association.
DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE this 20th day of June, 2013.
