                SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS

  IN   RE  UPDATED    LIST OF                    Opinion Delivered   June 8, 2017
  ATTORNEYS SUSPENDED FOR
  FAILURE TO PAY 2017 ANNUAL
  ATTORNEY-LICENSE FEE

                                      PER CURIAM

       On April 21, 2017, we issued an opinion pursuant to Rule VII(C) of the Rules

Governing Admission to the Bar identifying attorneys who were suspended from the

practice of law in the State of Arkansas due to the failure of those attorneys to pay their

2017 annual attorney-license fees. See In re Suspension of Attorneys Who Failed to Pay 2017

Annual Attorney-License Fee, 2017 Ark. 150 (per curiam). Since the issuance of that opinion,

some attorneys have been reinstated by becoming current on past-due fees and penalties.

       Rule VII(C)(18) requires that we periodically provide an updated list of attorneys

suspended for failure to pay annual dues. Attached is an updated list. The attorneys listed in

Category 1 have not paid their license fees, have remained suspended for nonpayment, and

shall not practice law in this state until they are reinstated to good standing. The attorneys

listed in Category 2 were suspended for failure to pay license fees, have become current on

the fees and penalties, and are reinstated to their pre-suspension statuses. We caution that

placement in Category 2 is proof of good standing only as to payment of license fees.
                                          Category 1
