Character and fitness review -- Remand for further
     investigation.
     (No. 91-1266 -- Submitted December 29, 1992 -- Decided
December 30, 1992.)
     This matter is pending before the court upon the
recommendation of the Board of Commissioners on Character and
Fitness that Sundiata Keita's application to take the Ohio bar
examination be disapproved.
     IT WAS ORDERED by the court, sua sponte, that before a
determination would be made on the merits of this case the
applicant, Sundiata Keita, was to submit to an independent
psychiatric evaluation; that such evaluation was to be
conducted by a psychiatrist selected by the court; and that
such evaluation be at the applicant's expense. It was further
ordered that this matter be stayed pending the court's receipt
of the psychiatrist's report. See In re Keita (1992), 62 Ohio
St.3d 1492, 583 N.E.2d 316.

On December 7, 1992, the special investigator for the Board of
Commissioners on Character and Fitness filed a motion to remand
this cause to the Board of Commissioners on Character and
Fitness for further proceedings. Upon consideration thereof,
     IT IS ORDERED by the court that said motion to remand be,
and the same is hereby, granted.
     IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter be remanded to the
Board of Commissioners on Character and Fitness for
consideration of the psychiatric evaluation and further
investigation with respect to issues raised by the evaluation.
