In re Douglas M. Rowan Attorney at Law, Bar No. 4736
MIRANDA M. DU CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
ORDER OF SUSPENSION
MIRANDA M. DU CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
Attorney Douglas M. Rowan was suspended by the Nevada Supreme Court pursuant to the Order of Suspension filed September 5, 2023. (ECF No. 1 at 4-5.) On September 18, 2023, this Court entered an Order to Show Cause (“OSC”). (Id.) The OSC provided Mr. Rowan with 30 days to respond with reasons why he should not be suspended from the practice of law in this Court. However, the Order to Show Cause was returned by the United States Postal Service marked “Forward Time Expired - Return to Sender.” (ECF No. 3.) The OSC was then remailed to Mr. Rowan at his forwarding address: 10740 Leatherstocking Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89166-8000 on September 20, 2023. (ECF No. 3-1.) The Court has still not received any response to the OSC. Regardless, the OSC provided Mr. Rowan with 30 days to respond with reasons why he should not be suspended from the practice of law in this Court. Failure to respond within 30 days warrants an Order of Suspension. See LR IA 11-7.
It is therefore ordered that Douglas M. Rowan, Bar No. 4736, is hereby suspended from practice in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada.
