from the practice of law pursuant to former Gov.Bar R. X(6)(B)(3) and (5)(A)(4).  
The court further ordered that respondent would not be reinstated to the practice 
of law in Ohio until respondent complied with the requirements for reinstatement 
set forth in former Gov.Bar R. X(7); complied with the Supreme Court Rules for 
the Government of the Bar of Ohio; complied with the April 8, 2005 order and all 
other orders of the court; and this court ordered respondent reinstated. 
{¶ 3} On January 9, 2015, the commission filed a recommendation 
pursuant to former Gov.Bar R. X(7)(B)(2), finding that respondent has paid all 
fees assessed for noncompliance, has made up all deficiencies, and is now in full
