Case No.: 17mc0612
ORDER OF SUSPENSION

(Amber Alexia Baylor,
Cal. Bar #248196)

On April 21, 2017, the Court ordered Attorney Amber Alexia Baylor to show

18

cause why she should not be suspended or disbarred from practice in this Court.

19

On June 7, 2017, Ms. Baylor filed an unsigned response to the Order to Show

20

Cause. In her response, Ms. Baylor states that she was suspended by the State

21

Bar of California for failure to pay her bar fees on time but that she is no longer

22

suspended by the State Bar of California because her bar fees are currently paid

23

in full. She attaches a letter from the State Bar of California dated September 2,

24

2016, stating that Ms. Baylor’s membership in the State Bar of California has been

25

restored because she paid her bar fees. However, according to the State Bar of

26

California’s website as of September 22, 2017, Ms. Baylor is still on inactive status.

27

Ms. Baylor telephonically appeared before the Court on September 22, 2017, and

28

explained that she is voluntarily on inactive status with the State Bar of California.

1

Civil Local Rule 83.3.c.1.a states that “continuing membership in the bar of

2

this court is limited to attorneys of good moral character who are active members

3

in good standing of the State Bar of California.” Therefore, the Court orders that

4

since Ms. Baylor is not an active member of the State Bar of California, she is

5

suspended from membership in the bar of this Court until she once again becomes

6

an active member in good standing of the State Bar of California.

7

In order to seek reinstatement in the bar of this Court, Ms. Baylor may file a

8

petition with the Clerk of Court with supporting documentation showing that she

9

has been reinstated as an active member in good standing of the State Bar of

10

California. This petition will be determined by the Chief Judge. CivLR 83.3.d.
