J.L.A. seeks reversal of the Georgia Board of Bar Examiners’ denial of his application for eligibility to sit for the Georgia Attorney’s Examination. Finding that the evidence underlying this matter clearly supports the Bar Examiners’ decision, we affirm.
J.L.A., a member of the Florida Bar, applied to the Georgia Bar Examiners for permission to sit for the Attorney’s Examination. On May 18, 1999, an administrative secretary with the Florida Bar wrote to the Georgia Bar Examiners that J.L.A. was a member in good standing of the Florida Bar despite that he had been the subject of three inquiries, one of which resulted in an injunction being issued against him that did not constitute attorney discipline.1 On June 8, 1999, the Georgia Bar Examiners informed J.L.A. that he had been temporarily granted eligibility to sit for the June 1999 Attorney’s Examination. At roughly that same time, Georgia officials requested the Director of Regulation for the Florida Bar to clarify J.L.A.’s disciplinary history in that state. On June 10, 1999, the Director of Regulation wrote that the Florida Bar’s May 8, 1999, letter was in error and should be disregarded by Georgia officials because under Rule 3.5-1 of the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar, the injunction entered against J.L.A. was in the nature of probation and thus a form of attorney discipline. Based upon that information, J.L.A. was informed that he would not be allowed to sit for the Georgia Attorney’s Examination. He appeals that decision.
