This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of a petition 
for reinstatement by respondent, L. Keith Brunner, a.k.a. Lowell Keith Brunner.  
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 December 14, 2001, recommending that L. Keith Brunner, a.k.a. 
Lowell Keith Brunner, 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 May 2, 2001, in which it indefinitely 
suspended respondent with credit for time served since December 18, 1996.  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, L. Keith Brunner, a.k.a. 
Lowell Keith Brunner, Attorney Registration No. 0006567, last known address in 
Springboro, Ohio, be, and hereby is, reinstated to the practice of law in Ohio. 
 
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED by the court that respondent be taxed the 
costs of these proceedings in the amount of $975.62, less the deposit of $500, for 
a total balance due of $475.62, 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 
SUPREME COURT OF OHIO 
2 
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 date of this order, respondent may be found in contempt and 
may be suspended until costs, including any accrued interest, are paid in full. 
 
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
