{¶ 1} This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an 
application for reinstatement by respondent, Ronald H. Sebree, Attorney

wherein the court, pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V(6)(B)(3), suspended respondent for a 
period of two years with the second year stayed on conditions, finds that 
respondent has substantially complied with that order and with the provisions of 
Gov.Bar R. V(10)(A).  Therefore,

matter, it is ordered that the final year of respondent's suspension is stayed and 
that he is placed on probation for a period of one year in accordance with Gov.Bar 
R. V(9).  It is further ordered that during the period of probation, respondent shall 
1) commit no further misconduct, 2) comply with the continuing legal education 
requirements of Gov.Bar R. X, and 3) allow an attorney appointed by relator to 
monitor his law office management practices and his compliance with the rules 
governing the professional conduct of attorneys.  It is further ordered that if 
respondent fails to comply with these conditions, the stay will be lifted, and 
respondent will serve the entire term of the actual suspension. 
{¶ 4} It is further ordered that on or before thirty days from the date of 
this order, relator, Dayton Bar Association, shall file with the Clerk of this court

probationary period, the relator shall file with the Clerk of this court a report 
indicating whether respondent, during his probationary period, complied with the 
terms of the probation. 
{¶ 5} It is further ordered that on or after one year from the date of this 
order, respondent may apply for termination of probation as provided in Gov.Bar 
R. V(9).  It is further ordered that respondent's probation shall not be terminated 
until (1) respondent files an application for termination of probation in 
compliance with Gov.Bar R. V(9)(D), (2) respondent complies with this and all 
other orders issued by this court, (3) respondent complies with the Rules for the 
Government of the Bar of Ohio, (4) relator files with the Clerk of this court a 
report indicating that respondent has complied with the terms of the probation, 
and (5) this court orders that the probation be terminated. 
{¶ 6} 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
