Supreme Court

                                                                              No. 2022-364-M.P.

       In the Matter of John S. Ciolli.        :

                                             ORDER

       On December 19, 2022, pursuant to Article III, Rule 13 of the Supreme Court Rules of

Disciplinary Procedure for Attorneys, the respondent, John S. Ciolli, filed an affidavit with the

Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court setting forth that he is aware that he is the subject of an

investigation into professional misconduct. The respondent’s affidavit sets forth that he freely and

voluntarily consents to disbarment, and that he is fully aware of the implications of submitting his

consent. On December 30, 2022, Disciplinary Counsel filed respondent’s affidavit with the Court.

       Upon review of respondent’s affidavit, we deem that an order disbarring respondent is

appropriate.

       Accordingly, pursuant to Article III, Rule 13, it is hereby ordered, adjudged and decreed

that the respondent, John S. Ciolli, be and is hereby disbarred on consent from engaging in the

practice of law.

       The respondent is directed to comply with the mandates of Article III, Rule 15 of the

Supreme Court Rules of Disciplinary Procedure for Attorneys, and within ten days after the

effective date of the disbarment order, respondent shall file with the Clerk of this Court an affidavit

showing:

       (1) That he has fully complied with the provisions of this Order and with the requirements

           of Article III, Rule 15;
(2) A list of other state, federal and administrative jurisdictions to which he is admitted to

   practice law; and

(3) That he has served a copy of the affidavit upon Disciplinary Counsel. The affidavit

   shall also set forth the residence or other address where communications may thereafter

   be directed to respondent.

Entered as an Order of this Court this 18th day of January 2023.

                                                      By Order,
