Rule 4-109 - Refusal or Failure to Appear for Reprimand; Suspension

If a respondent fails to appear for imposition of a Confidential Reprimand without just cause, the State Disciplinary Board shall reconsider the matter to determine whether the case should proceed with a public filing pursuant to Bar Rule 4-208 et seq. If a respondent fails to appear before the State Disciplinary Review Board or the Superior Court for imposition of a State Disciplinary Review Board Reprimand or a Public Reprimand, the Office of the General Counsel may file in the Supreme Court of Georgia a motion for suspension of the respondent. A copy of the motion shall be served on the respondent as provided in Bar Rule 4-203.1 . The Supreme Court of Georgia may in its discretion, ten days after the filing of the motion, suspend the respondent until such time as the reprimand is administered.
