Text: By order dated December 18, 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the Court) referred Peter Koenig to the Committee on Admissions and Grievances (the Committee), for investigation of his conduct before the Court and for preparation of a report on whether he should be subject to disciplinary or other corrective measures. The Court's referral order addressed three areas of concern regarding Koenig's conduct, including: (1) multiple defaults on scheduling orders, (2) a complaint by one of Koenig's former clients, and (3) Koenig's continued practice before the Court despite his failure to seek admission to the Second Circuit bar. In light of Koenig's conduct, the Committee recommends that Koenig is permanently barred from practice before the Court. The following constitutes the Committee's report and recommendation to impose discipline on Koenig.
