Pursuant to the Rules Creating and Controlling the Oklahoma Bar Association (Rules), 5 O.S. 2011 ch. 1, app. 1, art.

Based upon the application, this Court finds that the Board of Governors determined at its May 21, 2021, meeting that none of the Oklahoma Bar Association members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, have applied for reinstatement, pursuant to Article VIII, Section 4 of the Rules, at the time of the filing of its application. The Board of Governors further declared that the members named on Exhibit A, attached hereto, shall cease to be members of the Oklahoma Bar Association and that their names should therefore be stricken from its membership rolls and the Roll of Attorneys on September 14, 2021, pursuant to Article VIII, Section 5 of the Rules.
