I was also admitted to the bar of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in 

2002, but I did not renew my membership and am therefore no longer a member of that court's bar.

Similarly, I was originally admitted to the bar of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second 

Circuit in 2006, but I did not renew my membership. Subsequently, I was admitted to the Second 

Circuit's bar again in 2017 upon application. In both cases, there was no underlying issue or 

investigation, and these were administrative non-renewals of my membership.
