This is followed by a list of the attorneys who were suspended. The list includes each attorney’s Attorney Registration Number.

          IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if respondent fails to comply with this order, respondent may be referred for investigation of the unauthorized practice of law under Gov.Bar R. VII.

          IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondent is hereby divested of each, any and all rights, privileges and prerogatives customarily accorded to a member in good standing of the legal profession in Ohio.

          IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that notwithstanding respondent’s suspension under Gov.Bar R. VI, respondent shall comply with Gov.Bar R. X (Attorney Continuing Legal Education).

          IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that respondent shall not be reinstated to the practice of law in Ohio until (1) respondent files Certificates of Registration for all biennia for which respondent has not registered, (2) respondent pays all applicable registration fees, (3) respondent pays the reinstatement fee set forth in Gov.Bar R.
