    S10Y0807.
    IN THE MATTER OF JEFFREY SCOTT DENNY.
    (692 SE2d 386)
   Per curiam.

This disciplinary matter is before the Court pursuant to Jeffrey Scott Denny’s petition for voluntary surrender of license which he filed pursuant to Bar Rule 4-227 (b) prior to the issuance of a Formal Complaint. In the petition, Denny, who has been a member of the State Bar of Georgia since 1998, admits that in June 2009 he entered a plea of guilty in the Superior Court of Douglas County, Georgia to three felony counts of fraud-financial identity and one felony count of forgery. Denny admits that his convictions violate Bar Rule 8.4 (a) (2) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct and that one of the special conditions of his probation requires that he surrender his license to practice law. Thus, he requests that this Court accept the voluntary surrender of his license to practice law. The Bar has responded, asserting its belief that it is in the best interests of the Bar and the public for this Court to accept Denny’s petition.

Paula J. Frederick, General Counsel State Bar, A. M. Christina Petrig, Assistant General Counsel State Bar, for State Bar of Georgia.

Voluntary surrender of license accepted.

All the Justices concur.
