ON APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT. 
__________________ 
 
This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an application for 
reinstatement by respondent LeRoy Alvin Nichols, Attorney Registration No. 0015743, 
last known address in Columbus, Ohio. 
 
The court now considers its order of March 17, 1993, wherein the court, pursuant 
to Gov.Bar R. V(6)(B)(3), suspended respondent for a period of six months, with the 
suspension to follow respondent’s disciplinary sanction entered in Supreme Court case 
No. 90-1705, and further ordered that respondent’s suspension be stayed on condition he 
serve a third year of probation, to commence August 28, 1993.  The court also considers 
its orders of September 14, 1994, and November 17, 1994, wherein the court, pursuant to 
Gov.Bar R. V(9), revoked respondent’s probation and reinstated his six-month 
suspension.  The court finds that respondent has substantially complied with the 
provisions of Gov.Bar R. V(10)(A).  Therefore, 
 
IT IS ORDERED by this court that LeRoy Alvin Nichols be, and hereby is, 
reinstated to the practice of law in the state of Ohio.

this order as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(8)(D)(1), that publication be made as provided
