                SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS
  IN RE SUSPENSION OF                             Opinion Delivered   April 21, 2022
  ATTORNEYS WHO FAILED TO PAY
  2022 ANNUAL ATTORNEY-LICENSE
  FEE

                                         PERCURIAM

       The final deadline for attorneys to pay the 2022 annual attorney-license fee was April

15, 2022. As required by Rule VII(C)(9) of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar,

attached to this per curiam is a list of those who failed to pay the annual license fee by the

final deadline. The list is divided into three categories. Category 1 consists of those attorneys

who were automatically suspended on April 16, 2022, by operation of Rules VII(C)(1) &

(8) for failure to pay the annual fee and who remain suspended as of the issuance of this per

curiam. Category 2 consists of those attorneys who were automatically suspended on April

16, 2022, for failure to pay the fee but who have since become current and were reinstated

to their pre-suspension statuses. Category 3 consists of those former attorneys who have

remained suspended for more than three years for failure to pay annual license fees and

whose licenses were deemed surrendered as of April 16, 2022, per Rule VII(C)(17). The

attorneys listed in Categories 1 and 3 shall not practice law in this state unless reinstated.
                                           Category 1
