 DAVID L. TOMENES

       David L. Tomenes has petitioned the Court to waive the three-year test requirement
for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) for purposes of

       Tornenes passed the MPRE in 2016 when seeking admission to the practice of law
in Minnesota. Tomenes was admitted to the State Bar of Minnesota in 2016 and was
adrnitted to and remained a rnember in good standing of the State Bar of Minnesota since
2016. The petition states that David L. Toluenes has been practicing law "ethically and
without incident" since 2016. Good cause appearing,
      IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition of David L. Tomenes to waive the
three-year test requirement for the MPRE for purposes of Tomenes' current application for
admission by rnotion to the State Bar of Montana is GRANTED.
      The Clerk shall mail a copy of this order to Petitioner and to the Administrator of
the Board of Bar Examina at the State Bar of Montana.
      DATED this          day of November, 2021.
