Topic: Bar reinstatement - Filing of petition prematurely - Miss.R.Disc. 12.4

Summary of the Facts: Azki Shah has filed a Petition for Reinstatement to the Practice of Law. The Mississippi Bar has filed a Motion to Dismiss the Petition, averring that Shah’s petition has been filed prematurely, and that Shah has not complied with the conditions for reinstatement which were imposed by the Court when suspending Shah.

Summary of Opinion Analysis: It is clear from the limited record that Shah has, in fact, not complied with the requirements set forth by the Court nor with the requirements of Mississippi Rules of Discipline 12.2 or 12.5. Additionally, the Bar is correct in its assertion that Shah has filed his petition prematurely pursuant to Mississippi Rule of Discipline 12.4. Therefore, his petition is denied.
