MISCELLANEOUS SUPREME COURT
DISPOSITIONS
(186 P3d 286)
ORDER ALLOWING PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION
May 9, 2008
In the Matter of the Application for Reinstatement of Gunter, Bruce A., Applicant.
(8053579)(344 Or 368)
Upon consideration by the court.
Petitioner seeks reconsideration of this court's decision filed on March 27, 2008.
The court grants reconsideration to correct and restate certain factual matters that
appear in the court's opinion, as described below.
l. At 344 Or at 372 (slip op at 5, line 4), the phrase "a law clerk" is deleted and is
replaced by the phrase "an associate."
2. At 344 Or at 374 (slip op at 7, line 10} the phrase "records of applicant's treat
ment" is deleted and is replaced by the phrase "a document regarding applicant's
attendance."
3. Beginning at 344 Or at 375 (slip op 8, line 15), the fourth, fifth , and sixth sen
tences of the paragraph and footnote 4 are deleted and the following is substituted
therefor:
"Applicant stated in his deposition that Epstein 'went through a fair
amount of trouble' to help him recover his NASD registration. However,
applicant did not take a position with Money Market One and, thus, did
not obtain registration with NASD. He asserted that Epstein had not
offered him adequate compensation for his work and that Epstein was 'tak
ing advantage' of him. In 1999, applicant accepted a job with Advanced
Precision Technologies lAPTJ, a high-tech start-up company.4"
"4 As we discuss below, after leaving APT, applicant went on to work for
other securities firms."
4. Beginning at 344 Or at 382 (slip op at 18, line 2), the third through seventh sen
tences of the paragraph are deleted and the following is substituted therefor:
"The record shows that, in May 1 997, Money Market One applied to NASD
to employ applicant as a registered representative selling money market
investments and proposed to provide a particular supervisory plan for
applicant. Applicant never went to work for Money Market One, in part
because he felt that he was being taken advantage of. Applicant acknowl
edged in his deposition that Epstein of Money Market One 'went through a
fair amount of trouble' to help him regain his license and 'was pretty pissed
off about the whole thing.' Applicant insisted that he did nothing wrong.
However, in light of Epstein's reaction, this event demonstrates that appli
cant had a difficult relationship with that business entity."
The modifications to the court's opinion listed above do not alter the court's ulti
mate conclusion that the application for reinstatement to the Oregon State Bar
should be denied.
Reconsideration allowed. Result adhered to.
