Text: In addition, eleven (11) bar complaints and three (3) clients' security fund applications were filed against Movant. In his verified motion, Movant acknowledges that the Inquiry Commission has grounds to move forward and issue Charges against him for these offenses. However, Movant chooses to resign under the terms of the permanent disbarment before a Charge can be authorized. Movant seeks to terminate all of these proceedings by resigning under terms of permanent disbarment. He has acknowledged that he can never be reinstated to the practice law from permanent disbarment and that the provisions of SCR 3.480(3)(a) and SCR 3.510 do not apply. Movant has agreed that upon entry of an order of this Court sustaining his motion, he will never again engage in the practice of law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Bar Association has no objections to Movant's Motion to Resign under Terms of Permanent Disbarment. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 1. Movant, David W. Williams is hereby permanently disbarred from the practice of law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This disbarment shall commence on the date of entry of this order. 2. Further, Movant is ordered to pay the costs of this proceeding certified by the Kentucky Bar Association in the amount of $1,371.46, for which execution may issue upon finality of this order. 3. Pursuant to SCR 3.390, Movant shall, where he has not already done so, within ten (10) days from the entry of this Opinion and Order, notify all clients in writing of his inability to represent them, notify all  courts in which he has matters pending of his disbarment from the practice of law, and furnish copies of said letters of notice to the Director of the Kentucky Bar Association. 4. Movant is also ordered to immediately cancel and cease any and all advertising activities. All sitting. All concur. ENTERED: November 1, 2007. /s/ Joseph E. Lambert Chief Justice
