This matter is before the Court, pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 30.4(c),
upon a Petition for Reinstatement filed on January 6, 2020, by the Petitioner,

this Court on February 8, 2019, for a period of three (3) years, consisting of six (6)
months active suspension and the remainder on probation, pursuant to Tenn. Sup.
Ct. R. 9 § 14. A Notice of Submission was filed by the Chief Disciplinary Counsel
indicating that the Petition for Reinstatement is satisfactory to the Board, that Mr.
Lucas has satisfied all conditions set forth in the Order imposing discipline and is
eligible for reinstatement, effective immediately.
From all of which the Court grants the Petition for Reinstatement.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED BY THE COURT:

monthly during the period of probation and assess Mr. Lucasâ case load,
case management, timeliness of performing tasks, adequacy of

Monitor shall provide a monthly written report of Mr. Lucasâs progress to
Disciplinary Counsel.
b. During the period of active suspension and probation, Mr. Lucas shall
incur no new complaints of misconduct that relate to conduct occurring
during the period of suspension and probation that result in the

3. In the event Mr. Lucas fails to meet any condition of probation, the
probation may be revoked pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 14.2, and upon a
finding that revocation is warranted, Mr. Lucas shall serve the previously deferred
