442 So.2d 435 (1983) Application of Andreas RESPONDEK for Permission to be Admitted as a Member of the Louisiana State Bar Association. No. 83-OB-2169. Supreme Court of Louisiana. October 20, 1983. Application granted. This Court interprets its rule (Section 7 of Art. XIV of the Articles of Incorporation of the Louisiana State Bar Association) to mean that a "resident alien" is an alien who is lawfully residing in the United States. Thus interpreted the rule does not violate In re Griffiths, 413 U.S. 717 , 93 S.Ct. 2851 , 37 L.Ed.2d 910 (1973). DENNIS, J., concurs in granting relator's application for permission to be admitted as a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association. MARCUS, J., dissents from the order, being of the opinion that relator should first be qualified as a "resident alien" as defined in the immigration statutes before being admitted to the Louisiana State Bar. BLANCHE, J., dissents.
