D.C. Court Promptly Disbars Attorney Who Did Not Fight Recommendation

Bravo to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals for efficiently disbarring an attorney who had not excepted to a disbarment recommendation of the Board on Professional Responsibility.

The court entered an order today

The Board on Professional Responsibility concluded that respondent engaged in intentional misappropriation and recommends that the respondent be disbarred. Neither respondent nor Bar Counsel has excepted to that conclusion and recommendation. We therefore accept the Board’s recommendation. D.C. Bar R. XI, § 9 (h)(2).

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that respondent…is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the District of Columbia. For purposes of reinstatement, the period of disbarment will begin to run when [he] has filed an affidavit demonstrating full compliance with D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14 (g). 

That’s it. 

The court division consisted of Associate Judges Beckwith and McLeese and Senior Judge Farrell. (Mike Frisch)
