IN THE MATTER OF THE REINSTATEMENT OF: WILLIAM R. McMAHON, JR.,
TO MEMBERSHIP IN THE OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION AND TO THE ROLL OF ATTORNEYS

[ 39 P.3d 781 ]

ORDER

¶1 The petitioner, William R. McMahon, Jr., was stricken from the roll of attorneys in 1988 after voluntarily resigning pending disciplinary proceedings. Just prior to resigning, the petitioner moved to California and worked primarily in the field of mediation during the intervening years. The petitioner seeks reinstatement to the Oklahoma Bar Association by Petition for Reinstatement filed January 8, 2001. The Trial Panel recommended in their report that reinstatement be granted, pending the petitioner's successful passage of the regular examination given by the Board of Bar Examiners of the Oklahoma Bar Association.

Upon consideration of the matter, we find:

¶2 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Petition for Reinstatement be granted, pending successful passage of a regular examination given by the Board of Bar Examiners of the Oklahoma Bar Association.

¶3 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner shall pay the costs associated with this proceeding in the amount of $982.11 to the OBA and current year membership dues. These amounts are ORDERED to be paid within twenty (20) days from the date this Order is filed with the Clerk of this Court.

¶4 It is also ORDERED that reinstatement is conditioned upon petitioner's payment to the OBA of the amounts specified in ¶3 above.

DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE THIS 10THDAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2001.
