Rehearing Denied

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals entered an order yesterday that denied a motion for rehearing or rehearing en banc in a case where the court had not imposed an interim suspension for a felony conviction. Bar Counsel had filed the motion after a three-judge division of the court had declined to order suspension and instead referred the matter to Bar Counsel for an investigation of the underlying facts and circumstances. Note that the court adds a footnote to its earlier decision that clarifies the procedure in circumstances where the attorney has filed an opposition to the proposed interim suspension order submitted by Bar Counsel.
