MIRANDA M. DU CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
ORDER OF SUSPENSION
MIRANDA M. DU CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Attorney Brian J. Smith, State Bar No. 11279, was suspended by the Nevada Supreme Court pursuant to the Order of Suspension filed June 16, 2023. On June 27, 2023, this Court issued and entered an Order to Show Cause (ECF No. 1 (“OSC”)) mailed via certified mail. However, the Order to Show Cause was returned from the United States Postal Service marked “Return to Sender - Attempted - Not Known -Unable to Forward”. Regardless, the OSC provided Mr. Brian J. Smith with 30 days to respond with reasons why he should not be suspended from the practice of law in this Court. No response has been received from Mr. Smith. Failure to respond within thirty 30 days warrants an Order of Suspension. See LR IA 11-7.
It is therefore ordered that Brian J. Smith, Bar No. 11279, is hereby suspended from practice in United States District Court for the District of Nevada.
