Opinion

This matter came before the Court upon the filing of a Petition for Disciplinary or Remedial Action, with attached certified copy of an Order entered May 16, 2017, whereby the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia annulled the license to practice law in West Virginia of Jeff A.

By this Court's Order dated October 31, 2017, Mr. Godfrey was suspended from practicing law in Maryland, effective immediately, pursuant to Maryland Rule 19-737(d), pending further order of the Court. Having now considered Bar Counsel's response to this Court's Show Cause Order dated February 8, 2018, and it appearing that Mr. Godfrey has failed to respond to the Show Cause Order, it is this 19th day of April, 2018, ORDERED, by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, that Jeff A. Godfrey, Respondent, is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the State of Maryland; and it is further

ORDERED, that the Clerk of this Court shall issue notice of this final disposition in accordance with Maryland Rule 19-761(b).
