The Honorable Clyde N. Davis, Jr.

Clerk, South Carolina Supreme Court

P.O. Box 11330

Columbia, SC 29211

Dear Mr. Davis:

I am a member of the South Carolina Bar.

Insofar as I am living and practicing in the state of California and do not intend to return to South Carolina in the foreseeable future, I am resigning my membership in good standing with South Carolina Bar. Please make my resignation effective as soon as possible and no later than December 31,1983.

My association with the South Carolina Bar has been an honor which I terminate with much regret. I shall always , cherish the memory of the days I spent in South Carolina and the many warm friendships I developed among the students and faculty at the law school.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Ronald S. Matthias" Ronald S. Matthias
