ORDER On December 7, 2007, we suspended respondent Ronald Lyle Kopeska from the practice of law for a period of 90 days, allowing respondent to apply for reinstatement by affidavit and requiring respondent to successfully complete the professional responsibility portion of the state bar examination by December 7, 2008. On March 20, 2008, we reinstated respondent to the practice of law subject to his successful completion of the professional responsibility portion of the state bar examination by December 7, 2008.
