ORDER
(FILED— November 10, 2022)
On consideration of the opinion and certified copy of the order from the state
of Maryland disbarring respondent from the practice of law; this court’s September
2, 2022, order suspending respondent pending resolution of this matter and directing
him to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed; and the
statement of Disciplinary Counsel; and it appearing that respondent has not filed a
response or his D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g) affidavit, it is
ORDERED that Celio Young is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in
the District of Columbia. See In re Sibley, 990 A.2d 483, 487-88 (D.C. 2010)
(explaining that there is a rebuttable presumption in favor of imposition of identical
discipline and exceptions to this presumption should be rare); In re Fuller, 930 A.2d
194, 198 (D.C. 2007) (stating that a rebuttable presumption of identical reciprocal
discipline applies unless one of the exceptions is established). It is
FURTHER ORDERED that, for purposes of reinstatement, respondent’s
disbarment will not begin to run until such time as he files an affidavit that fully
complies with the requirements of D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g).
