SUBJECT: Petition of T. Perry Jenkins

Dear Mr. Davis:

Enclosed, please find my Petition to the Supreme Court of the State of South Carolina of resignation as a member of the South Carolina Bar. It is with much regret that I am submitting my resignation to the South Carolina Bar; however, I do not intend to practice law in the State of South Carolina. I wish that the South Carolina Bar had a special category of membership for out-of-state attorneys who are licensed to practice in South Carolina but who are not currently practicing there. As I’m sure you know, anyone who has, as I have, gone to law school in South Carolina and taken the South Carolina Bar, has a great deal of fondness for the State and the South Carolina Bar; however, I cannot economically justify remaining a member of the Bar when I will not be practicing in South Carolina.

Please file my enclosed Petition. As it states, I wish to voluntarily resign as a member in good standing of the South Carolina Bar because I have no present intention to practice law in South Carolina. I would like to further point out that I am a member in good standing of the State Bar of North Carolina and the North Carolina Bar Association and other Federal Courts.

If there is anything further that I need to do, or if this Petition is not sufficient, please let me hear from you. If it is required that I return my South Carolina Law license, please let me know and I will forward the same to you. If that is a requirement, I will do so; although, I have gotten used to it hanging on my wall.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Very truly yours,

/s/ T. Perry Jenkins T. Perry Jenkins
