Cincinnati Bar Ass'n v. Arnold
Citations: 93 Ohio St. 3d 1205; 755 N.E.2d 344Docket: No. 98-2663
Court: Ohio Supreme Court; September 14, 2001; Ohio; State Supreme Court
A petition for reinstatement was filed by S. Richard Arnold, also known as Stuart Richard Arnold, following his indefinite suspension from practicing law in Ohio, as ordered on March 31, 1999. The petition was referred to the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline, which submitted a Final Report recommending reinstatement on July 3, 2001. No objections to this recommendation were raised. The court, upon reviewing the case and the Board's Final Report, ordered the reinstatement of Arnold to the practice of law in Ohio. Additionally, Arnold was ordered to pay the costs of the proceedings totaling $1,144.99, after a $500 deposit, leaving a balance of $644.99. This amount must be paid within ninety days via certified check or money order. Should he fail to pay the costs in full within this timeframe, interest will accrue at ten percent per annum on the unpaid balance, and he may be found in contempt, resulting in suspension until the costs, including any accrued interest, are settled. The court also directed the Clerk to issue certified copies of the order and ensure publication as required by the governing rules, with Arnold responsible for the publication costs. The case references an earlier matter, Cincinnati Bar Assn. v. Arnold (1999). All justices concurred in the decision.
