UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER 2020-32

CASE # 20-MC-22066 

In re: SANDRA DUCHEINE A/K/A 

 SANDRA CORACELIN A/K/A 

 SANDRA DUCHEINE-BAKER 

FLORIDA BAR # 128929 

________________________________________/

ORDER OF SUSPENSION

On December 23, 2015, the Supreme Court of Florida entered an Order of Suspension, 

suspending Sandra Coracelin a/k/a Sandra Ducheine a/k/a Sandra Ducheine-Baker from the 

practice of law. See The Florida Bar v. Sandra Coracelin, No. SC15-1474, 192 So.3d 42 (Fla. 

2015) (ECF No. 1). Although this suspension occurred in 2015, this Court was not made aware 

of the suspension until after the attorney’s petition for reinstatement to The Florida Bar was 

voluntarily dismissed on May 12, 2020. See The Florida Bar Re: Sandra Coracelin, SC19-1722, 

2020 WL 2461916 (Fla. May 12, 2020). Rule 9(b) of the Rules Governing the Admission, 

Practice, Peer Review, and Discipline of Attorneys, Local Rules of the United States District Court 

for the Southern District of Florida, provides that “[a]n attorney . . . who shall be suspended . . . 

on consent . . . from the bar of any state . . . while an investigation into allegations of misconduct 

is pending shall . . . cease to be permitted to practice before this Court and be stricken from the 

roll of attorneys admitted to practice before this Court.” Under these circumstances involving 

suspension on consent, service of an Order to Show Cause is unnecessary and the attorney may be 

immediately suspended. Id. Pursuant to Rule 9(b) and the inherent authority of this Court to 

oversee officers admitted to membership in its bar, see Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 43 

(1991) (“[A] federal court has the power to control admission to its bar and to discipline attorneys 

who appear before it.”),
