ORDER

In its Petition for Disciplinary or Remedial Action, the Attorney Grievance

Commission requested the Court impose reciprocal discipline to that imposed by the

petition and required the Commission and the respondent to show cause why reciprocal

discipline should not be imposed. The Commission filed a response recommending

reciprocal discipline. The respondent did not file a response.

Accordingly, it is this 24th day of March 2023, by the Supreme Court of

Maryland,

ORDERED that the respondent, Matthew James Plache, be indefinitely

suspended from the practice of law in the State of Maryland; and it is further

ORDERED, that the Clerk of this Court shall strike the name of Matthew James

Plache from the register of attorneys in this Court and certify shall that fact to the Trustees of the Client Protection Fund of the Bar of Maryland and all Clerks of all

judicial tribunals in this State in accordance with Maryland Rule 19-761(b).
