                            ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR RESIGNATION
                                 This is a joint petition by the State Bar of Nevada and
                  attorney James M. 0. Miller 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 Miller; 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). Miller 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, Miller has submitted
                  an affidavit of compliance with SCR 115. See SCR 98(5)(e).
