ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT
This matter is before the Court upon a Petition for Reinstatement filed on

filed by the Board of Professional Responsibility ("Board") on November 18, 2013; upon
a hearing held before a Hearing Panel on March 5, 2014; upon the Judgment of the
Hearing Panel entered on March 27, 2014; upon consideration and approval by the Board
on April 2, 2014; upon agreement by the parties that they will not seek appeal; and upon
the entire record in this cause.
From all of which the Court approves the Judgment of the Hearing Panel.
It is, therefore, ordered, adjudged and decreed by the Court:

communication. The practice monitor shall send monthly reports of these
meetings to Board. Mr. Howie shall select three potential practice monitors
and, on or before April 11, 2014, submit the names to the Board for final
