              Supreme Court Docket No.  96-034

       DATE:  February 21, 1996


       On February 12, 1996, the Vermont Supreme Court disbarred Julian
  Goodrich, Esq. from the office of attorney and counselor at law.  This
  disbarment order was entered pursuant to Rule 16 of the Permanent Rules
  Governing Establishment of Professional Conduct Board and its Operatin,
  Administrative Order 9.

       Rule 16 allows attorneys who are the subject of disciplinary
  investigations to resign by delivering to the Court an affidavit detailing
  the following:  1)  the resignation is freely given, 2)  the attorney is
  aware of the existence of a pending disciplinary investigation, 3)  the
  attorney is guilty of the allegations under investigation and 4)  the
  attorney is resigning because he cannot successfully defend himself against
  the charges under investigation.

       Enclosed is a copy of the Supreme Court's entry order in this matter. 
  Rule 16(D) allows publication of this order but precludes disclosure of the
  affidavit.
