MOTION TO DISMISS
NOW COMES the Board of Overseers of the Bar through Bar Counsel J. Scott Davis, and Respondents by their counsel, Bernard J. Kubetz, Esq., to hereby jointly respectfully request dismissal of the two above-docketed matters for the following reasons:

Dated at Augusta, Maine this 13th day of November 2012.
