District of Columbia pursuant to § 12 of Rule XI of the Rules of the District of Columbia Court
of Appeals Governing the Bar of the District of Columbia, which affidavit has been filed with the
Clerk of this court, and the report and recommendation of the Board on Professional

       FURTHER ORDERED that Bar Counsel’s petition for discipline based upon
respondent’s convictions in the Court of Common Pleas of York County, Pennsylvania, be
denied as moot. It is

       FURTHER ORDERED that Bar Counsel’s motion to file under seal Bar Counsel’s
response to the court’s show cause order is granted. It is

       FURTHER ORDERED that respondent’s motion to set aside the court’s order of
suspension be denied as moot.

       The Clerk shall publish this order, but the affidavit shall not be publicly disclosed or

respondent.

on Professional Responsibility and to the respondent, thereby giving him notice of the provisions
of Rule XI, §§ 14 and 16, which set forth certain rights and responsibilities of disbarred attorneys
and the effect of failure to comply therewith.
