deemed delivered if sent to the most recent address on file.
(b) Reporting Disciplinary Matters. Each member of the bar of this district must promptly
notify the clerk of the imposition of any professional discipline against the attorney by any

be made within 30 days of the imposition of the disciplinary action, unless good cause is
shown for failing to do so. A temporary suspension for failure to pay bar dues, not

Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
