total balance due of $918.43, which costs shall be payable to this court on or
before ninety days from the date of this order. It is further ordered that if these

costs are not paid in full on or before ninety days from the date of this order,
interest at the rate of ten percent per annum shall accrue as of ninety days from the
date of this order, on the balance of unpaid board costs and that respondent may
not file a petition for reinstatement until such time as costs, including all accrued
interest, have been paid in full.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of this court issue certified
copies of this order as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(8)(D)(1), that publication be
