In the Matter of Muhammad Abdul-Warit Abdur-Rahim

In the Supreme Court of Georgia
Decided: February 8, 2023
S20Y0209. IN THE MATTER OF MUHAMMAD ABDUL-WARIT
ABDUR-RAHIM.
PER CURIAM.
This matter is before the Court on the State Bar’s motion for
suspension of Respondent Muhammad Abdul-Warit Abdur-Rahim
(State Bar No. 560822). On April 6, 2020, this Court accepted Abdur-
Rahim’s petition for voluntary discipline and ordered Abdur-Rahim
to receive a State Disciplinary Review Board reprimand for his
admitted violation of Rule 3.5 (d) of the Georgia Rules of
Professional Conduct. See In the Matter of Abdur-Rahim, 308 Ga.
485 (841 SE2d 666) (2020). Although Adbur-Rahim was notified to
appear for the reprimand, he failed to appear at the date and time
specified for the reprimand. Therefore, the Court hereby suspends
Abdur-Rahim from the practice of law from the date of this opinion
until such time as the reprimand is administered. See Bar Rule 4-
1
109. Once Abdur-Rahim appears for and is administered the
reprimand and the State Bar confirms that Abdur-Rahim received
his reprimand, the State Bar is directed to file a motion in this Court
to lift the suspension. Abdur-Rahim is reminded of his duties
under Bar Rule 4-219 (b).
Suspended until reprimand administered. All the Justices
concur.
