ORDER
[1] This Court sua sponte issues the instant Order making certain modifications to the official opinion in this matter reported atState ex rel. Oklahoma Bar Association v. Thomas, 886 P.2d 477
(Okla. 1994), which modifications reflect the true intent of our previous Order of December 15, 1994, in the above styled matter.

The modifications made by the instant Order are as follows:
