      On September 18, 2023, the Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) filed a Petition
for Reciprocal Discipline of Montana attorney Maribeth M. Hanson, pursuant to Rule 27A

Court of the State of Washington, affirming a disciplinary order disbarring Hanson from
the practice of law in Washington.
      Pursuant to MRLDE 27B,
      IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Maribeth M. Hanson is granted until October 20,
2023, in which to inform this Court of any claim predicated upon the grounds set forth in
MRLDE 27D as to why discipline identical to that imposed in Washington should not also
be imposed in Montana.
      The Clerk is directed to provide a copy of this Order and a copy of the Washington
Supreme Court's April 17, 2023 Disbarment Order to Respondent Hanson and a copy of
this Order to ODC.
      DATED this \ ck       day of September, 2023.
