A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE HONORABLE KARL B. ALLEN OF GREENVILLE COUNTY FOR HIS DEDICATED SERVICE IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON BEHALF OF HIS CONSTITUENTS AND THE CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO WISH HIM MUCH SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives learned with sincere regret that Karl Allen will depart from the House of Representatives at the conclusion of his current term; and

Whereas, born in Greenville on October 13, 1960, the son of Jesse and Maudie Allen, he earned a bachelor's degree from the University of South Carolina in 1982 and a juris doctorate in 1986; and

Whereas, he has one fine daughter, Brittanie Elizabeth, and when he is away from his duties in the House of Representatives, he practices law in Greenville; and

Whereas, deeply committed to his profession, he served as the past president of the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice, and he was admitted to United States Supreme Court in 1992 and holds membership in the South Carolina Bar Association; and

Whereas, he has served the citizens of District 25 in the House of Representatives since 2001, during which time he has served as a member of the Judiciary Committee; and

Whereas, in his twelve years of service, he has provided tremendous legal insight and understanding in this chamber, and his experience as a practicing attorney paid great dividends in this regard; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives will miss the keen and dedicated service that Karl Allen, their friend and colleague, has given to the House of Representatives, and hope that he will enjoy deep fulfillment in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Honorable Karl B. Allen of Greenville County for his faithful service in the House of Representatives on behalf of his constituents and the citizens of South Carolina and wish him much success and happiness in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Karl B. Allen.
