[Cite as Disciplinary Counsel v. Yajko (2000), 90 Ohio St.3d 1207.] 
(No. 96-524 — Submitted August 22, 2000 — Decided September 15, 2000.) 
ON PETITION FOR REINSTATEMENT. 
 
This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of a petition for 
reinstatement by respondent, Mark A. Yajko.  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 Amended Final Report in this court on June 22, 
2000, recommending that Mark A. Yajko 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 February 5, 1997, indefinitely 
suspending respondent, Mark A. Yajko, from the practice of law pursuant to 
former Gov.Bar R. V(6)(B)(2).  On consideration thereof, and the Amended Final 
Report of the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline, 
 
IT IS ORDERED by the court that the respondent, Mark A. Yajko, Attorney 
Registration No. 0006348, last known address in East Liverpool, Ohio, be, and 
hereby is, reinstated to the practice of law in Ohio.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, sua sponte, by the court, that within ninety 
days of the date of this order, respondent shall reimburse any amounts that have

Gov.Bar R. VIII(7)(F).  It is further ordered, sua sponte, by the court that if, after 
the date of this order, the Clients’ Security Fund awards any amount against the 
respondent pursuant to Gov.Bar R. VIII(7)(F), the respondent shall reimburse that 
amount to the Clients’ Security Fund within ninety days of the notice of such 
award.
