In the Supreme Court of Georgia

                               Decided: February 8, 2023

 S20Y0209. IN THE MATTER OF MUHAMMAD ABDUL-WARIT
                    ABDUR-RAHIM.

     PER CURIAM.

     This matter is before the Court on the State Bar’s motion for

suspension of Respondent Muhammad Abdul-Warit Abdur-Rahim

(State Bar No. 560822). On April 6, 2020, this Court accepted Abdur-

Rahim’s petition for voluntary discipline and ordered Abdur-Rahim

to receive a State Disciplinary Review Board reprimand for his

admitted violation of Rule 3.5 (d) of the Georgia Rules of

Professional Conduct. See In the Matter of Abdur-Rahim, 308 Ga.

485 (841 SE2d 666) (2020). Although Adbur-Rahim was notified to

appear for the reprimand, he failed to appear at the date and time

specified for the reprimand. Therefore, the Court hereby suspends

Abdur-Rahim from the practice of law from the date of this opinion

until such time as the reprimand is administered. See Bar Rule 4-

                                  1
109. Once Abdur-Rahim appears for and is administered the

reprimand and the State Bar confirms that Abdur-Rahim received

his reprimand, the State Bar is directed to file a motion in this Court

to lift the suspension. Abdur-Rahim is reminded of his duties

under Bar Rule 4-219 (b).

     Suspended until reprimand administered. All the Justices
concur.
