Opinion

* IN THE ATTORNEY GRIEVANCE COMMISSION OF MARYLAND * SUPREME COURT

* OF MARYLAND v. * AG No. 36 BRENDA C. WAGNER * September Term, 2025

ORDER

In its petition for disciplinary or remedial action, the Attorney Grievance Commission

requests that the Court impose discipline on the respondent, Brenda C. Wagner, corresponding

to the public censure imposed by the District of Columbia Court Appeals after it found that

the respondent violated the District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 4.2(a).

Upon the filing of the petition, and pursuant to Rule 19-737(c), the Court issued an

order requiring the respondent to show cause why corresponding discipline should not be

imposed. Bar Counsel filed a response to the Court’s order to show cause. After the

deadline to respond to the order had already passed, the respondent filed a motion for an

extension of time to respond to the Court’s order to show cause.

Upon consideration of the petition for disciplinary or remedial action, Bar

Counsel’s response to the petition, and the respondent’s motion for extension of time, it

is this 20th day of February 2026, by the Supreme Court of Maryland,

ORDERED that respondent’s motion for extension of time is denied; and it is

further

ORDERED that the respondent, Brenda C. Wagner, is reprimanded.

Pursuant to the Maryland Uniform Electronic Legal Materials Act (§§ 10-1601 et seq. of the State Government Article) this document is authentic. /s/ Matthew J. Fader Chief Justice 2026.02.20 '00'05- 08:52:11 Gregory Hilton, Clerk
