 IN RE PETITION OF MICHAEL JAMES JOHNSON
 FOR REINSTATEMENT TO ACTIVE STATUS IN                                     ORDER
 THE BAR OF MONTANA

      Michael James Johnson has petitioned for reinstatement to active status in the State
Bar of Montana. The petition states that on September 9, 2022, Johnson was placed on
inactive status by the State Bar of Montana pursuant to Rules 3B2, 5, and 12 of the Rules
for Continuing Legal Education (CLE) for noncompliance with CLE requirements. Rule
13 of the CLE Rules provides that reinstatement may be granted by the Court upon
"certification by the [CLE] Commission that the attorney has completed the minimum
continuing education requirements." Thus, the Court will need additional information to
consider the petition.     Johnson must provide a letter or documentation from the
Commission certifying Johnson's completion of CLE requirements for the reporting
year(s) for which Johnson has been placed on inactive status. Therefore,
      IT IS ORDERED that the petition of Michael James Johnson for reinstatement to
active status in the State Bar of Montana is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
      The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this order to the Petitioner and the State
Bar of Montana.
      DATED this l9 day of November, 2023.
