IN RE: REINSTATEMENT OF Zachary B. COUGHLIN, Bar No. 9473.
ORDER DENYING REINSTATEMENT
This is an automatic review of a Northern Nevada Disciplinary Board hearing panel's recommendation that this court deny attorney Zachary B. Coughlin's petition for reinstatement from disability inactive status. Coughlin was transferred to disability inactive status in 2015 and we denied previous petitions for reinstatement in 2016, In re Reinstatement of Coughlin, Docket No. 69723 (Order Denying Reinstatement, Nov. 10, 2016), and 2018, In re Reinstatement of Coughlin, Docket No. 74438 (Order Denying Reinstatement, May 25, 2018). Having considered the record before this court, we conclude that Coughlin has failed to meet his burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that his disability has been removed and that he is fit to resume the practice of law. SCR 117(4). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.1
FOOTNOTES
1. If he has not done so already, Coughlin shall pay SCR 120 costs as recommended by the hearing panel within 30 days of the date of this order.
