                                       ORDER

       In its Petition for Disciplinary or Remedial Action, the Attorney Grievance

Commission requested the Court impose reciprocal discipline to that imposed by the

United States Court of Federal Claims, that is an indefinite suspension. Pursuant to

Rule 19-737(e), the Court required the Commission to serve the respondent with the

petition and required the Commission and the respondent to show cause why reciprocal

discipline should not be imposed. The Commission filed a response recommending

reciprocal discipline. The respondent did not file a response.

       Accordingly, it is this 24th day of March 2023, by the Supreme Court of

Maryland,

         ORDERED that the respondent, Matthew James Plache, be indefinitely

suspended from the practice of law in the State of Maryland; and it is further

      ORDERED, that the Clerk of this Court shall strike the name of Matthew James

Plache from the register of attorneys in this Court and certify shall that fact to the
Trustees of the Client Protection Fund of the Bar of Maryland and all Clerks of all

judicial tribunals in this State in accordance with Maryland Rule 19-761(b).

                                                                    /s/ Matthew J. Fader
                                                                        Chief Justice

Pursuant to the Maryland Uniform Electronic Legal Materials
Act (§§ 10-1601 et seq. of the State Government Article) this
document is authentic.
