 IN RE PETITION OF JOHN E. CARTER FOR
 REINSTATEMENT TO ACTIVE STATUS IN THE                                        ORDER
 BAR OF MONTANA

      John E. Carter has petitioned for reinstatement to active status in the State Bar of
Montana. The petition states that Carter was placed on inactive status by the State Bar of
Montana pursuant to Rules 3B2, 5, and 12 of the Rules for Continuing Legal Education
(CLE) for noncompliance with CLE requirements. Rule 13 of the CLE Rules provides that
reinstatement may be granted by the Court upon "certification by the [CLE] Commission
that the attorney has completed the minimum continuing education requirements." Thus,
the Court will need additional information to consider the petition. Carter must provide a
letter or documentation from the Commission certifying Carter's completion of CLE
requirements for the reporting year(s) for which Carter has been placed on inactive status.
Therefore,
       IT IS ORDERED that the petition ofJohn E. Carter for reinstatement to active status
in the State Bar of Montana is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
       The Clerk is directed to provide copies of this order to the Petitioner and the State
Bar of Montana.
