In its Petition for Disciplinary or Remedial Action, the Attorney Grievance 
Commission requested the Court impose reciprocal discipline to that imposed by the 
United States Court of Federal Claims, that is an indefinite suspension. Pursuant to 
Rule 19-737(e), the Court required the Commission to serve the respondent with the 
petition and required the Commission and the respondent to show cause why reciprocal 
discipline should not be imposed. The Commission filed a response recommending 
reciprocal discipline. The respondent did not file a response. 
Accordingly, it is this 24th day of March 2023, by the Supreme Court of 
Maryland, 
 ORDERED that the respondent, Matthew James Plache, be indefinitely 
suspended from the practice of law in the State of Maryland; and it is further 
ORDERED, that the Clerk of this Court shall strike the name of Matthew James 
Plache from the register of attorneys in this Court and certify shall that fact to the
