¶1 The Board on Professional Responsibility (“Board”) recommends that this court impose on respondent a sixty-day suspension from the practice of law in the District of Columbia. Respondent filed a false and misleading petition in federal court in Virginia in a drug money forfeiture dispute involving a former client of respondent’s firm, and was convicted of criminal contempt for that conduct. 1 Both respondent and Bar Counsel have informed the court that they take no exception to the Board’s recommendation, 2 which is therefore acted upon by the court pursuant to D.C. Bar R. XI, § 9(g)(2).
¶2 Accordingly, we adopt the Board’s recommendation and suspend respondent for sixty days from the practice of law in the District of Columbia. The suspension shall take effect thirty days from the date of this opinion. D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(f). We direct respondent’s attention to the requirements of Rule XI, § 14, relating to suspended attorneys.
¶3 So ordered.
