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