ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR RESIGNATION
This is a joint petition by the State Bar of Nevada and
attorney Eric Willis for his resignation from the Nevada bar.
SCR 98(5) provides that Nevada attorneys who are not
actively practicing law in this state may resign from the state bar if
certain conditions are met. The petition includes statements from state
bar staff confirming that no disciplinary, fee dispute arbitration, or client
security fund matters are pending against Willis; and that he is current on
all membership fee payments and other financial commitments relating to
his practice of law in this state. See SCR 98(5)(a)(1)-(2).
Bar counsel has recommended that the resignation be
approved, and the Board of Governors has approved the application for
resignation. See SCR 98(5)(a)(2). Willis acknowledges that his
resignation is irrevocable and that the state bar retains continuing
jurisdiction with respect to matters involving a past member's conduct
prior to resignation. See SCR 98(5)(c)-(d). Finally, Willis has submitted
an affidavit of compliance with SCR 115. See SCR 98(5)(e).
