{¶ 1} This matter originated in this court on the filing of a report by the

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 May 16, 2006 order and all 
other orders of the court, and this court ordered respondent reinstated. 
{¶ 3} On April 6, 2017, 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 
compliance with all requirements of Gov.Bar R. X and recommending that 
respondent be reinstated to the practice of law in Ohio.  The commission certified 
that respondent had completed the credit hours of continuing legal education
