NOTICE OF AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION FOR NON-PAYMENT OF COSTS Case No. 04-69-GA Notice Issued: May 30, 2008 Terrell Thomas, P 54809, Detroit, Michigan. Effective May 28, 2008. 1 Respondent was ordered to pay costs on March 5, 2005 in Grievance Administrator v Terrell Thomas, Case No. 04-69-GA. After being certified for non-payment of those costs, respondent requested a payment plan, which was granted. On December 27,2005, respondent was again certified for non-payment and automatically suspended from the practice of law on January 5,2006.
On February 27,2008, respondent filed a second request for a payment plan, which was granted with the provision that termination of respondent's suspension for non-payment of costs was conditioned upon actual receipt of his first installment payment. Respondent did make the first scheduled installment payment, but he did not seek automatic reinstatement by filing an affidavit pursuant to MCR 9.123(A), as required byMCR 9.128. Consequently, respondent's suspension of January 5, 2006 remained in effect.
On May 20, 2008, respondent was again certified for non-payment of costs and his second payment plan was vacated. In accordance with MCR 9.128(D), his license to practice law in Michigan was automatically suspended on May 28, 2008, and until payment of costs and the filing of affidavits of compliance in accordance with MCR 9.119 and 9.123(A).
