ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR RESIGNATION
This is a joint petition by the State Bar of Nevada and attorney
Melanie Diane Foster for her 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 Foster; and that she is current on all
membership fee payments and other financial commitments relating to her
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). Foster acknowledges that her 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, Foster has submitted an affidavit of
compliance with SCR 115. See SCR 98(5)(e).
The petition satisfies the requirements of SCR 98(5). Accordingly, we
approve attorney Melanie Diane Foster's resignation. SCR 98(5)(a)(2). The
petition is hereby granted.
It is so ORDERED.
