On a motion filed by Bar Counsel within the time
permitted for its answer to the petition, or sua sponte, the Board
may dismiss any petition for reinstatement if the petitioner is
not eligible for reinstatement or the petition on its face is insufficient
as a matter of law to support reinstatement, after assuming petitioner
would be able to establish by clear and convincing evidence all
of the material facts set forth in the petition.
A suspended attorney shall not be
eligible for reinstatement until a period of time equal to the period
of suspension shall have elapsed following the attorney’s compliance
with Rule XI, Section 14, unless for good cause shown. A disbarred
attorney shall not be eligible for reinstatement until five years
have elapsed following the attorney’s compliance with Rule XI, Section
14, unless for good cause shown.
