- LICENSE FEE Opinion Delivered 

### April 18, 2024

PER CURIAM 

### The final deadli ne for attorneys to pay the 202 4 annual a ttorney - license fee was April 1 5 , 202 4 . As required by Rule VII ( C ) (9) of the Rules Governing Admission to the B ar, the clerk of this court has prepared a list of all suspended attorneys, which is attached to this per curiam . The list is divided into three categories. C ategory 1 consists of those attorneys who were automatically suspended on April 1 6 , 202 4 , by operation of Rule VII ( C ) (1) and (8) for failure to pay the annual fee and who remain suspended as of the issuance of this per curiam. C ategory 2 consists of those attorneys who were automatically suspended on April 1 6 , 202 4 , for failure to pay the fee but have since become current and reinstated to their pre - suspension status. We caution that placement in Category 2 is proof of good standing only as to payment of license fees. C ategory 3 consists of those a ttorneys who have remained suspended for more than three consecutive years for failure to pay annual license fees and whose licenses were deemed surrendered as of April 1 6 , 202 4 , per Rule VII ( C ) (17). An attorney listed in either Category 1 or 3 shall not practice law in this state unless he or she has been ( 1) reinstated pursuant to Rule VII (C) ( 16)
– (17) &(D) or (2) exempted during a stay of the suspension as provided in Rule VII(C)(15).C ategory 1 Suspended- license S tatus Nonp ayment of License Fee and Penaltes Tonia S. Acker Bar Number: 97227 Little Rock, AR Christie Gunter
