IN RE CELIO YOUNG DDN2021-D070 A Member of the Bar of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Bar Registration No. 421672

BEFORE: Deahl and AliKhan, Associate Judges, and Washington, Senior Judge.

ORDER (FILED— November 10, 2022)

On consideration of the opinion and certified copy of the order from the state of Maryland disbarring respondent from the practice of law; this court’s September 2, 2022, order suspending respondent pending resolution of this matter and directing him to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed; and the statement of Disciplinary Counsel; and it appearing that respondent has not filed a response or his D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g) affidavit, it is

ORDERED that Celio Young is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the District of Columbia. See In re Sibley, 990 A.2d 483, 487-88 (D.C. 2010) (explaining that there is a rebuttable presumption in favor of imposition of identical discipline and exceptions to this presumption should be rare); In re Fuller, 930 A.2d 194, 198 (D.C. 2007) (stating that a rebuttable presumption of identical reciprocal discipline applies unless one of the exceptions is established). It is

FURTHER ORDERED that, for purposes of reinstatement, respondent’s disbarment will not begin to run until such time as he files an affidavit that fully complies with the requirements of D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g).
