this court on December 15, 2005, recommending that respondent be reinstated to 
the practice of law in Ohio.  No objections to said final report were filed.  Upon 
consideration thereof,  
{¶ 2} IT IS ORDERED by this court that the petition for reinstatement of 
respondent be, and hereby is, granted, and that respondent, William F. Hayes, last 
known business address in Maumee, Ohio, be and hereby is reinstated to the

provide to counsel for relator a general update each time as to the status of his 
practice of law and his sobriety. 
{¶ 3} IT IS FURTHER ORDERED by the court that respondent be taxed 
the costs of these proceedings in the amount of One Thousand Two Hundred 
Thirty-Five Dollars and Nine Cents ($1,235.09), less the deposit of Five Hundred

and Nine Cents ($735.09) payable by respondent on or before 90 days from the 
date of this order.  If costs are not paid on or before 90 days from the date of this 
SUPREME COURT OF OHIO

It is further ordered that if costs are not paid in full on or before 90 days from the 
date of this order, respondent may be found in contempt and suspended until all 
costs and accrued interest are paid in full. 
{¶ 4} IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, sua sponte, by the court that, within 
90 days of the date of this order, respondent shall reimburse any amounts that 
have been awarded against the respondent by the Clients' Security Fund pursuant 
to Gov.Bar R. VIII(7)(F).  It is further ordered, sua sponte, by the court that if, 
after the date of this order, the Clients' Security Fund awards any amount against 
the respondent pursuant to Gov.Bar R. VIII(7)(F), the respondent shall reimburse 
that amount to the Clients' Security Fund within 90 days of the notice of such 
award.
