15.1— Respondent’s Motion to Consent to Disbarment

 

At any time during the course of an investigation or a pending proceeding based on allegations of misconduct, a respondent may consent to disbarment. A motion to consent, with a copy served on Bar Counsel, shall be filed with the Board Office accompanied by an affidavit stating: (I) that the consent is voluntarily rendered, that respondent is not being subjected to coercion or duress, and that respondent is fully aware of the implication of consenting to disbarment; (ii) that respondent is aware that there is currently pending an investigation into, or a proceeding involving allegations of misconduct, the nature of which shall be specifically set forth in the affidavit; (iii) that respondent acknowledges that the material facts upon which the allegations of misconduct are predicated are true; and (iv) that respondent submits the consent because respondent knows that if disciplinary proceedings based on the alleged misconduct were brought, respondent could not successfully defend against them. Bar Counsel may file a response to respondent’s motion pursuant to this rule within five (5) days after filing of the motion.
