Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. Brown.
    [Cite as Disciplinary Counsel v. Brown (2001), 93 Ohio St.3d 1227.]
    (No. 98-399
    Submitted October 16, 2001
    Decided November 2, 2001.)
   This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an amended petition for reinstatement by respondent, Paul Raymond Brown. In accordance with Gov.Bar R. V(10)(F), respondent’s amended petition for reinstatement was referred to the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline. The Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline filed its Final Report in this court on August 29, 2001, recommending that Paul Raymond Brown be reinstated to the practice of law in the state of Ohio. No objections to said Final Report were filed.

The court now considers its order of November 10, 1998, indefinitely suspending respondent, Paul Raymond Brown, from the practice of law pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V(6)(B)(2). On consideration thereof, and the Final Report of the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline,

IT IS ORDERED BY THE COURT that the respondent, Paul Raymond Brown, Attorney Registration No. 0037693, last known business address in Columbus, Ohio, be, and hereby is, reinstated to the practice of law in Ohio.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED by the court that respondent be taxed the costs of these proceedings in the amount of $963.39, less the deposit of $500, for a total balance due of $463.39, which costs shall be payable to this court on or before ninety days from the date of this order, by certified check or money 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. It is further ordered that if costs are not paid in full on or before ninety days from the date of this order, respondent may be found in contempt and may be suspended until costs, including any accrued interest, are 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.
