The petitioner, Randy David St. Onge (St. Onge/petitioner) was stricken from 
the roll of Oklahoma attorneys in November of 2006. On December 1, 2008, St. 
Onge petitioned this Court for reinstatement as a member of the Oklahoma Bar

attorney be reinstated. Upon consideration of the matter, we find:

Governing Disciplinary Proceedings, 5 O.S. 2001, ch.1, app. 1-A.

1) has not engaged in the unauthorized practice of law in the State of Oklahoma; 
2) possesses the competency and learning in the law required for reinstatement 
to the Oklahoma Bar Association; and 3) possesses the good moral character which 
would entitle him to be reinstated to the Oklahoma Bar Association.
3) The petitioner is required to complete of 12 hours of MCLE, including 1 
hour of ethics for the calendar year 2009 to comply with Rule 3, Rules for 
Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, 5 O.S. 2001, ch.1, app. 
1-B.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the petition of David St. Onge for reinstatement 
be granted. Under the facts presented, we hold that the requirement for MCLE for 
the year 2009 should be completed before reinstatement.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Reinstatement is conditioned upon: 1) the payment 
of $732.59 in costs associated with these proceedings; 2) the payment of $275.00 
in dues for calendar year 2009; and 3) payment of dues, penalties, and costs 
which total $650.00. Penalties, costs and dues in the total amount of $1657.59 
shall be paid within 30 days of the date of this order and reinstatement is 
conditioned upon such payment.
