This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing on June 28, 1999, of a

recommending that the petition for reinstatement be denied. Respondent filed objections
to said Final Report and relator filed an answer to the objections. Upon consideration
thereof,

and hereby is, denied.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED by the court that respondent be taxed the costs of
these proceedings in the amount of $1,169.38, less the deposit of $500, for a total balance
due of $669.38, 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, the court may take further action against respondent, and 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 made as provided
for in Gov.Bar R. V(8)(D)(2), and that respondent bear the costs of publication.
