 V.                              IN SUPREME COURT

 KENTUCKY BAR ASSOCIATION                                          RESPONDENT

                              OPINION AND ORDER

       The Board of Governors (Board) of the Kentucky Bar Association moves

the Court to adopt its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and

Recommendation concerning Movant, Brian Banas ; KBA Member Number

89260 . Movant's last known bar roster address is 5857 Santana Drive, Colorado

Springs, Colorado 80918 . Movant was admitted to the Kentucky Bar on May 28,

2002, but was suspended from the practice of law for failure to pay bar dues on

January 27, 2005 .

       Movant filed his Application for Reinstatement or Restoration pursuant to

SCR 3.500(1) on February 20, 2007, less than five (5) years after his original

withdrawal date. With his Application, the KBA received payment for Movant's

restoration fee, dues for the current year, and dues for all back years. Movant is

also CLE compliant for purposes of restoration .
      At the time the matter was considered by the Board, there were no

complaints or charge files pending against Movant, and he has not been the

subject of any claims against the Client Security Fund . The Board voted

unanimously to recommend Movant's restoration to the practice of law.

      Finding no impediments to restoration, we adopt the Board's Findings of

Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Recommendation concerning Movant. It is

therefore ORDERED THAT:

       1.    Brian Banas, KBA Member No . 89260, is restored to the practice of

law in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, subject to his payment of the costs of this

proceeding in the amount of $132.28 to the Kentucky Bar Association, as

required by SCR 3.500(5) .

      All sitting . All concur.
