        "text": "Per Curiam.\nPetitioner Edward G. Partin II has filed a petition for admission to the bar of Arkansas and a motion for consideration of previous record and briefs and request for oral argument.\nPetitioner sought admission to the Bar of Arkansas in 1993. He had completed the necessary educational requirements and had passed the Arkansas bar examination. The Board of Law Examiners refused to recommend his admission on the ground that he was not morally qualified. The Board concluded that Petitioner\u2019s efforts at rehabilitation were not complete in view of what members perceived as his lack of candor. On appeal, this court affirmed the Board\u2019s decision. Partin v. Bar of Arkansas, 320 Ark. 37, 894 S.W.2d 906 (1994).\nPetitioner again seeks admission to the bar of Arkansas and alleges that he has completed the necessary educational requirements and that he has passed the Arkansas Bar examination and the Multistate Professional Responsibility examination. Petitioner further alleges that he was admitted to the bar of Louisiana on April 25, 1995.\nRule XIII of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar requires that any application for initial admission shall be submitted to the Executive Secretary of the Board and that the determination of eligibility shall be made by the Board in accordance with Rule XIII. In the event the Board denies eligibility, the applicant may appeal the Board\u2019s decision to this court for review de novo upon the record.\nThe Board\u2019s decision to deny Petitioner\u2019s previous application for admission to the bar of Arkansas was affirmed by this court in 1995. Partin v. Bar of Arkansas, supra. Pursuant to Rule XIII of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar, Petitioner must first submit any application for initial admission to the Board for determination of eligibility. This court does not have original jurisdiction of petitions for admission to the bar of Arkansas. Rather, this court\u2019s jurisdiction in connection with applications for admission to the bar is solely for appellate review of the Board\u2019s decisions. Rule XIII of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar.\nThe petition for admission to the bar of Arkansas is, therefore, dismissed for lack of original jurisdiction. The motion for consideration of previous record and briefs and request for oral argument is, therefore, moot.\nBrown, J., not participating.",
