IN THE MATTER OF THE STRIKING OF NAMES OF MEMBERS OF THE OKLAHOMA BAR ASSOCIATION FOR NONPAYMENT OF 2019 DUES
ORDER STRIKING NAMES
The Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Bar Association filed an Application for Order Striking Names of attorneys from the Oklahoma Bar Association's membership rolls for failure to pay dues as members of the Oklahoma Bar Association for the year 2019.
Pursuant to the Rules Creating and Controlling the Oklahoma Bar Association (Rules), 5 O.S. 2011 ch. 1, app. 1, art. VIII §2, the Oklahoma Bar Association's members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, were suspended from membership in the Oklahoma Bar Association and prohibited from practicing law in the State of Oklahoma by this Court's Order of June 10, 2019, for failure to pay their 2019 dues in accordance with Article VIII, Section 2 of the Rules. Based upon the application, this Court finds that the Board of Governors determined at its August 28, 2020, meeting that none of the Oklahoma Bar Association members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, have applied for reinstatement, pursuant to Article VIII, Section 4 of the Rules, at the time of the filing of its application. The Board of Governors further requested that the members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, shall cease to be members of the Oklahoma Bar Association and that their names should therefore be stricken from its membership rolls and the Roll of Attorneys pursuant to Article VIII, Section 5 of the Rules. This Court further finds that the actions of the Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Bar Association are in compliance with the Rules.
It is therefore ordered that the attorneys named as set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto, are hereby stricken from the Roll of Attorneys for failure to pay their dues as members of the Association for the year 2019.
DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE THIS 14th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 2020.
