ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR RESIGNATION
This is a joint petition by the State Bar of Nevada and attorney
James Edward Shively 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 Shively; 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). Shively 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, Shively has submitted an
affidavit of compliance with SCR 115. See SCR 98(5)(e).
