ON PETITION FOR REINSTATEMENT. 
 
This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of a petition 
for reinstatement by respondent, Jerry Bernarr Kraig.  In accordance with Gov.Bar 
R. V(10)(F), respondent’s 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 October 22, 1998, 
recommending that Jerry Bernarr Kraig 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 March 4, 1998, indefinitely 
suspending respondent, Jerry Bernarr Kraig, from the practice of law pursuant to 
Gov.Bar R. V(6)(B)(2), with credit for time served under the interim suspension in 
In re Kraig (1995), 73 Ohio St.3d 1443, 654 N.E.2d 980.  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, Jerry Bernarr Kraig,

total balance due of $207.65, 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 
 
2
date of this order, respondent may be found in contempt and may be suspended 
until costs, including any accrued interest, are paid in full.
