Bryant, is hereby removed as a member of the Bar of this State and that the Clerk of this Court strike such name from the roll of attorneys. To be eligible for reinstatement at a future date, the Respondent must comply with the provisions of Admission and Discipline Rule 23, Section 4.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, by reason of the resignation of the Respondent, all charges not previously adjudicated in this proceeding are now dismissed as moot.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to forward notice of this Order in accordance with the provisions of Admission and Discipline Rule 23, Section 3(d) governing disbarment and suspension.
