AT NASHVILLE
IN RE: ROBERT ALAN LENTER, BPR #025841
An Attorney Licensed to Practice Law in Tennessee
(Boca Raton, Florida)

No. M2018-01298-SC-BAR-BP

ORDER OF RECIPROCAL DISCIPLINE
This matter is before the Court pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25, upon a
Notice of Submission filed by the Board of Professional Responsibility (âBoardâ)
consisting of a certified copy of an Order of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, entered on
June 15, 2018, granting Mr. Lenterâs request for permanent resignation from the practice
of law in lieu of discipline. Mr. Lenter is permanently prohibited from practicing law in
Louisiana or in any other jurisdiction and permanently prohibited from seeking
readmission in Louisiana or in any other jurisdiction.
A Notice of Reciprocal Discipline was entered by this Court on July 18, 2018,
directing Mr. Lenter to inform this Court, within thirty (30) days of service of the Notice,
of any claim predicated upon the grounds set forth in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4, that the
imposition of the identical discipline in Tennessee is unwarranted and the reasons
therefor. This Court received no response to the Notice of Submission within the time
provided by Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4. Mr. Lenter filed an untimely response, however,
dated August 29, 2018.
After careful consideration of the record in this matter, the Court finds, based upon
the particular facts of this case, that none of the elements in Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 25.4,
exist. Accordingly, it is appropriate to enter an Order of Reciprocal Discipline.
IT IS, THEREFORE, CONSIDERED, ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED BY THE COURT THAT:
1) Robert A. Lenter is disbarred from the practice of law in Tennessee as
similarly imposed by Order of the Supreme Court of Louisiana in cause number 2018-OB-
0841. A copy of the Order of the Supreme Court of Louisiana is attached to this Order as
Exhibit A.
2) Mr. Lenter shall pay to the Clerk of this Court the costs incurred herein,
within ninety (90) days of the entry of this Order, for all of which execution shall issue, if
necessary.
3) Pursuant to Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 28.1, this Order shall be effective upon
entry.
4) The Board of Professional Responsibility shall cause notice of this
discipline to be published in accordance with Tenn. Sup. Ct. R. 9, § 28.
PER CURIAM
