Based upon all the files, records, and proceedings herein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that respondent Joel C. Monke is conditionally reinstated to the active practice of law, subject to proof of successful completion of the professional responsibility portion of the state bar examination. By May 8, 2010, respondent shall file with the Clerk of Appellate Courts and serve upon the Director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility proof of successful completion of the professional responsibility portion of the state bar examination.
