Long, 58, Texas Bar Card No. 00793182, of a default judgment of judgment of partially probated suspension signed by the Evidentiary Panel for the State Bar of Texas District 4E9 grievance committee in Case No. H0060520290 on December 8, 2006. The Board found that Long did not file a reporter's record or a brief. The Board signed an Order to Show Cause to Long on March 28, 2007, giving him 30 days to respond and show cause as to why the appeal should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Long did not respond.
