Office Of Disciplinary Counsel V. Marcone

In this matter, we consider Petitioner Office of Disciplinary Counsel's (the "ODC") Petition for Adjudication of Contempt filed against Respondent Frank J. Marcone alleging that Mr. Marcone has acted in violation of our July 1995 order suspending him from, inter alia, the practice of law. In determining whether the ODC's Petition should be granted, we are necessarily required to analyze the issue of whether an attorney who has been suspended from the practice of law by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania may nevertheless maintain a law office in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for purposes of practicing before the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. For the reasons more fully expressed below, we grant ODC's Petition and find Mr. Marcone in contempt of our order suspending him from the practice of law.
