ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT

This is an automatic review of a Southern Nevada Disciplinary Board hearing panel’s unanimous recommendation to reinstate suspended attorney Kym S. Cushing. As no briefs have been filed, this matter stands submitted for decision. SCR 116(2).

This court suspended Cushing from the practice of law for nine months based on violations of RPC 3.4(c) (fairness to opposing party or counsel: knowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunal), RPC 8.1(1) (bar disciplinary matters: knowingly making a false statement of material fact), and RPC 8.4(c) (misconduct: engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation). In re Discipline of Cushing, No. 78367, 2020 WL 521905 (Jan. 31, 2020) (Order of Suspension). Cushing has completed the suspension and complied with the disciplinary order’s conditions.

Based on our de novo review, we agree with the panel’s conclusion that Cushing has satisfied his burden in seeking reinstatement by clear and convincing evidence. See SCR 116(2) (providing that an attorney seeking reinstatement must demonstrate compliance with certain criteria “by clear and convincing evidence”); Application of Wright, 75 Nev. 12-259 70
