This matter is before the Court, pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 30.4(c), upon a
Petition for Reinstatement filed on October 5, 2017, by the Petitioner, S. Brad Dozier.
Mr. Dozier was suspended from the practice of law by Order of this Court on June 20,
2017, for a period of two years, with thirty days active suspension and the remainder to
be served on probation subject to conditions. A Notice of Submission was filed by the
Chief Disciplinary Counsel indicating that the petition is satisfactory to the Board and
that Mr. Dozier has satisfied all conditions set forth in the Order imposing discipline and
that he is eligible for reinstatement.
From all of which the Court grants the Petition for Reinstatement.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED BY THE COURT:

the State of Tennessee pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 30.4(c).
2. Mr. Dozier shall remain on probation until June 20, 2019, pursuant to Tenn.
Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 14.1, subject to the following conditions of probation:

of Mr. Dozierâs progress to Disciplinary Counsel.

probation may be revoked pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 14.2.
