9.2—Dismissal of Insufficient Petition

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.
