                        ON APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT.
                                ____________________
        {¶ 1} This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an
application for reinstatement by respondent, Leo Johnny Talikka, Attorney

period of two years with the second year stayed on conditions, finds that
respondent has substantially complied with that order and with the provisions of

        {¶ 3} Therefore, it is ordered by this court that respondent is reinstated to
the practice of law in the state of Ohio. It is further ordered that respondent shall
serve one year of probation to be supervised by a monitor appointed by relator in
accordance with Gov.Bar R. V(9).
        {¶ 4} It is further ordered that in accordance with Gov.Bar R. V(9),
relator shall file with the clerk of this court, on or before 30 days from the date of
this order, the name of the attorney who will serve as respondent’s monitor. It is
further ordered that at the end of respondent’s probationary period, relator shall
file with the clerk of this court a report indicating whether respondent, during the
probationary period, complied with the terms of the probation.
        {¶ 5} It is further ordered that at the end of the probationary period,
respondent may apply for termination of probation as provided in Gov.Bar R.
V(9). It is further ordered that respondent’s probation shall not be terminated
