Leech, a Dickson attorney, for three (3) years and ordered Mr. Leech to pay $270.00 to the Board and make
arrangements with the Department of Revenue for payment of Mr. Leechâs privilege tax. Mr. Leech

pursuant to Rule 9, Section 4.7, of the Rules of the Supreme Court, and to fully comply in all respects with
