                               ____________________
        {¶ 1} This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an
application for reinstatement by respondent, Earl Darren McNeal, Attorney

        {¶ 2} The court coming now to consider its order of August 27, 2020,
wherein the court found respondent in contempt, revoked the previously imposed
stay, and suspended respondent from the practice of law, finds that respondent has
substantially complied with that order and with the provisions of Gov.Bar R. V(24).
        {¶ 3} Therefore, it is ordered by this court that respondent is reinstated to
the practice of law in the state of Ohio.
        {¶ 4} It is further ordered that the clerk of this court issue certified copies
of this order as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(17)(E)(1) and that publication be
made as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(17)(E)(2).
