This disciplinary matter is before the Court on the petition of Wilson R. Smith State Bar No. 665025 for voluntary surrender of his license following the entry of a guilty plea to mail fraud and aggravated identity theft in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. Smith, who was admitted to the Bar in 1976, is currently under an indefinite suspension after he voluntarily sought a suspension pending the outcome of criminal charges, see In the Matter of Smith, 297 Ga. 46 771 SE2d 901 2015. Smith admits that by his conviction, he has violated Rule 8.4 a 2, of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct found in Bar Rule 4-102 d. The maximum penalty for a violation of Rule 8.4 a 2 is disbarment.

The State Bar has filed a response recommending that the Court accept the petition and stating its belief that it is in the best interests of the Bar and the public for this Court to accept Smith’s petition.
