[Cite as Disciplinary Counsel v. Martin (1995),     Ohio                         
St.3d    .]                                                                      
     (No. 94-492 -- Submitted and decided January 13, 1995.)                     
     On Application for Reinstatement.                                           
     On June 22, 1994 this court suspended respondent, Linda                     
Sue Martin, Attorney Registration No. 0025597, last known                        
address in Youngstown, Ohio, for one year, with the last six                     
months of the suspension to be stayed and respondent to be                       
placed on a three-year probationary period, pursuant to Gov.Bar                  
R. V(6)(B).  On December 22, 1994, respondent filed an                           
application for reinstatement.                                                   
     The court coming now to consider its order of June 22,                      
1994, finds that respondent has substantially complied with                      
that order.  Therefore,                                                          
     IT IS ORDERED that the last six months of respondent's                      
one-year suspension be stayed, and that she be placed on a                       
three-year probationary period, consistent with the opinion                      
rendered by the court in Disciplinary Counsel v. Martin (1994),                  
69 Ohio St.3d 468, 633 N.E.2d 112.                                               
     IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before February 13, 1995,                  
relator, Disciplinary Counsel, file with the Clerk of this                       
court the name of the attorney who will monitor respondent                       
during the probationary period.  It is further ordered that at                   
the end of the probationary period, relator file with the Clerk                  
of this court a report indicating whether respondent complied                    
with the terms of her probation during this period.                              
     IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that upon successful completion of                    
the probationary period, respondent may apply for termination                    
of probation pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V(9), and that the                           
probation shall not be terminated until respondent complies                      
with Gov.Bar R. V(9)(D), and this court orders respondent's                      
probation terminated.                                                            
     IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondent shall keep the Clerk                  
of this court, relator, and the monitoring attorney advised of                   
any change of address where respondent may receive                               
communications.                                                                  
     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 costs of                             
publication.
