Upon consideration of (1) the Joint Petition for Indefinite Suspension by 
Consent Followed by Two Years of Probation with Terms filed by Bar Counsel and 
Respondent, Kellee Genean Baker, on May 7, 2024, in the above-captioned case, in 
which the parties jointly petition this Court to indefinitely suspend the Respondent from 
the practice of law with the right to apply for reinstatement after one year and in which 
the Respondent acknowledges that the evidence described in the joint petition would be 
sufficient to sustain the violation of Rules 19-303.1, 19-303.4(b), 19-308.4(c), and 19-
308.4(d) of the Maryland Attorney’s Rules of Professional Conduct, and (2) the Line 
filed by the parties on June 10, 2024, in which the parties advise that they would proceed 
with the joint petition “without any provision for specific conditions that would be in 
place in the even of reinstatement,” i.e., the parties would proceed without the request 
that the Court bind itself to approve two years of probation to be imposed upon potential 
future reinstatement, it is this 17th day of June 2024,    
ORDERED, by the Supreme Court of Maryland, a majority of the Court 
concurring, that the Joint Petition for Indefinite Suspension by Consent is GRANTED,
