In re Ugwuonye

By order dated July 24, 2008, the Court of Appeals of Maryland suspended respondent from the practice of law for 90 days, effective August 23, 2008, for multiple violations of the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct.

Petitioner moves for an order imposing reciprocal discipline upon respondent pursuant to this Court’s rules (see 22 NYCRR 806.19). Respondent has not responded to the instant motion. Petitioner’s motion is granted and, in the interest of justice and with due regard for the discipline imposed in Maryland, we suspend respondent from the practice of law for a period of 90 days.
