ORDER STRIKING NAMES

There came on for consideration the Application by the Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Bar Association for an Order Striking 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 comply with the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requirements for the year 2007.
