Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Having reviewed the record, we adopt the findings, conclusion, and recommendation of the board. Applicant is hereby permitted to take the July 2000 bar examination if he submits a new application to register as a candidate for admission to the bar, files a new application to take the bar examination, and satisfactorily completes a character and fitness examination.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J., Douglas, Resnick, F.E. Sweeney and Pfeifer, JJ., concur. Cook and Lundberg Stratton, JJ., dissent.

Dissenting Opinion

Lundberg Stratton, J.,

dissenting. I dissent. The applicant cannot demonstrate he has the requisite fitness or moral character to uphold the high ethical standards required of this worthy profession. Therefore, I would deny applicant’s request to take the bar examination and not permit him to reapply.

Cook, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
