District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided December 23, 1999No. 98-BG-644PublishedCited by 3 opinions
1Per curiam
On May 15, 1998, this court entered an order suspending respondent Cary D. De-chowitz from the practice of law in the District of Columbia following his suspension by the Court of Appeals of Maryland. Because respondent’s suspension in Maryland was based on a criminal conviction on a charge of possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, the Board on Professional Responsibility recommends that he be disbarred nunc pro tunc to March 18, 1998, when he was originally suspended in Maryland. Respondent has not filed a brief addressing moral turpitude or the final discipline to be imposed.
