This matter originated in this court on the filing of a report by the

the imposition of sanctions against certain attorneys, including the above-
named respondent, for failure to comply with the provisions of Gov.Bar R.
X, Attorney Continuing Legal Education, for the 2001-2002 reporting
period.

On December 5, 2003, this court adopted the recommendation of the
commission, imposed a sanction fee upon the respondent, and suspended the
respondent from the practice of law pursuant to Gov.Bar R. X(6)(B)(3) and
(5)(A)(4). The court further ordered that respondent shall not be reinstated
to the practice of law in Ohio until respondent complies with the
requirements for reinstatement set forth in Gov.Bar R. X(7), respondent
complies with the Supreme Court Rules for the Government of the Bar of
Ohio, respondent complies with this and all other orders of the court, and
this court orders respondent reinstated.

On March 11, 2004, the commission filed a recommendation pursuant
to Gov.Bar R. X(7)(B)(2), finding that the respondent has paid all fees
assessed for noncompliance, has made up all deficiencies and is now in full
compliance with all requirements of Gov.Bar R. X, and recommending that
the respondent be reinstated to the practice of law in Ohio. On March 11,

2004, the commission certified that respondent had completed the credit
