                              matters involving a past member's conduct prior
                              to the member's resignation from the state bar.
                              Lawton acknowledges that his resignation is irrevocable, and
                he agrees to relinquish his right to practice in Nevada. See SCR 98(5)(c).
                              We conclude that the application satisfies the requirements of
                SCR 98(5). Accordingly, we grant the motion and approve Rick Lawton's
                application for resignation, subject to the state bar's continuing
                jurisdiction under SCR 98(5)(d). Lawton shall comply with SCR 115 and
                the state bar shall comply with SCR 121.1. See SCR 98(5)(e).
                              It is so ORDERED.' _
