                                                                             IEF DEPUTY CLERK

                          ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR RESIGNATION
                            This is a joint petition by the State Bar of Nevada and attorney
                David H. Putney for his resignation from the Nevada bar.
                            SCR 98(5) provides that Nevada attorneys who are not actively
                practicing law in this state may resign from the state bar if certain
                conditions are met. The petition includes statements from state bar staff
                confirming that no disciplinary, fee dispute arbitration, or client security
                fund matters are pending against Putney; and that he is current on all
                membership fee payments and other financial commitments relating to his
                practice of law in this state. See SCR 98(5)(a)(1)-(2).
                            Bar counsel has recommended that the resignation be
                approved, and the Board of Governors has approved the application for
                resignation. See SCR 98(5)(a)(2). Putney acknowledges that his resignation
                is irrevocable and that the state bar retains continuing jurisdiction with
                respect to matters involving a past member's conduct prior to resignation.
                See SCR 98(5)(c)-(d).     Finally, Putney has submitted an affidavit of
                compliance with SCR 115. See SCR 98(5)(e).
