Opinion
No. 09-8516.
Filed On: May 7, 2009.
BEFORE: Sentelle, Chief Judge, and Griffith and Kavanaugh, Circuit Judges.
ORDER OF DISBARMENT
Upon consideration of the court's order filed March 5, 2009, directing respondent to show cause why he should not be disbarred based on his disbarment by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals on February 26, 2009, and the lack of any response thereto, it is
ORDERED that the order to show cause be discharged. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that William S. Bach be disbarred and, accordingly, be prohibited from further practice of law before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. See D.C. Cir. Rules, App. II, Rule IV. Respondent has not responded to the order to show cause and, therefore, has not carried his burden to demonstrate any lack of notice or infirmity of proof in the underlying proceeding in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, that disbarment is gravely unjust, or that his misconduct warrants substantially different discipline. See id., Rule IV(c). It is
FURTHER ORDERED that William S. Bach be prohibited from holding himself out to be an attorney at law licensed to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.
