Case Number: SCBD-5317
Decided: 09/15/2008
As Amended: March 9, 2009
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA
FOR PUBLICATION IN OBJ ONLY. NOT RELEASED FOR OFFICIAL PUBLICATION.
IN THE MATTER OF THE STRIKING OF NAMES OF MEMBERS OF THE OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION FOR NONPAYMENT OF 2007 DUES
ORDER STRIKING NAMES
There came on for consideration the Application for Order Striking Names by the Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Bar Association petitioning for the striking of names of attorneys from the membership rolls of the Oklahoma Bar Association and from the practice of law in the State of Oklahoma for failure to pay dues as members of the Oklahoma Bar Association for the year 2007.
It appears to the Court that the Board of Governors at their August 22, 2008, meeting, in compliance with Article VIII, ยง5 of the Rules Creating and Controlling the Oklahoma Bar Association, 5 O.S., Ch. 1, App. 1 (1981), established that the hereinafter named members of the Oklahoma Bar Association were suspended from membership in the Association and from the practice of law in the State of Oklahoma by Order of this Court in Case No. S.C.B.D. 5317 on July 2, 2007. It further appears to the Court that the Board of Governors have determined that no application for reinstatement has been filed by said members within one year of suspension. In addition, it appears to the Court that on August 22, 2008, the Board of Governors declared that the members hereinafter set out on the attached Exhibit ceased to be members of said Association and therefore ordered the names of said members be stricken from the membership rolls of the Oklahoma Bar Association.
THE COURT THEREFORE FINDS
DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE THIS 15th DAY OF September, 2008.
