ORDER 
 
 
This matter came before the Court upon the filing of a Petition for Disciplinary or 
Remedial Action, with attached certified copy of an Order entered December 14, 2016, whereby 
the United States District Court for the District of Maryland indefinitely suspended Lawal 
Momodu, a member of this Court’s Bar, from the Bar of the U.S. District Court, with a right to 
apply for reinstatement no sooner than one year from the date of the Order.  By this Court’s 
Order dated July 28, 2017, Mr. Momodu was suspended in accordance with Maryland Rule 19-
737(d), effective immediately, from the practice of law in the State of Maryland, pending further 
order of the Court.  Having now considered the responses of Mr. Momodu and Bar Counsel to 
the Court’s Show Cause Order dated June 27, 2017, and having found no demonstration of any 
of the exceptional circumstances set forth in Rule 19-737(e), it is this 29th day of August, 2017, 
 
ORDERED, by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, as the final disposition of this matter, 
that Lawal Momodu, Respondent, is indefinitely suspended from the practice of law in the State 
of Maryland, with a right to apply for reinstatement no sooner than December 14, 2017; and it is 
further 
 
ORDERED, that the Clerk of this Court shall issue notice of this final disposition in 
accordance with Maryland Rule 19-761(b); and it is further 
 
ORDERED, that judgment is hereby entered in favor of the Attorney Grievance 
Commission of Maryland against Lawal Momodu in the amount of $100.00.
