Thomas petition for voluntary surrender of his license to practice law which he filed in response to the State Bar s initiation of proceedings under Bar Rule 4-106. In the petition, Thomas, who has been a member of the Bar since 1991, admits that on June 4, 2007, he pled guilty in Carroll County under the first offender act to theft by taking, a felony violation of the Criminal Code of Georgia, and that the entry of judgment on this plea constitutes a violation of Rule 8 (a) (2) of Bar Rule 4-102 (d).
