February 8,1983

Mr. Robert Durant,

The South Carolina Bar

P. O. Box 11039

Columbia, South Carolina 29211

Dear Mr. Durant:

Regarding the payment of License Fees, Clients Security Fund Assessment and Section Dues for 1983 membership in the South Carolina Bar, please accept this letter in lieu thereof and as my request for permission to withdraw without prejudice my membership in the South Carolina Bar. Though my interest in the South Carolina Bar remains active, I have relocated and I do not foresee returning to South Carolina to actively practice law. I regret that provision is not made in the South Carolina Bar rules for inactive membership allowing one to remain associated with the Bar without retaining active status. I understand that you will submit this request to the South Carolina Supreme Court for its acceptance and approval and I authorize the submission of this letter as evidence of my request.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

s/Deborah H. Benton

Deborah H. Benton, Esquire
