DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURT OF APPEALS No. 26-BG-0632 IN RE ROBERT B. FITZPATRICK, RESPONDENT. A Retired Member of the Bar of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals (Bar Registration No. 40410) On Report and Recommendation of the Board on Professional Responsibility (BDN No. 23-BD-035; DDN No. 2019-D201) (Decided October 8, 2026) Before BECKWITH and SHANKER, Associate Judges, and THOMPSON, Senior Judge. PER CURIAM: The Board on Professional Responsibility recommends that Robert B. Fitzpatrick be suspended from the practice of law for sixty days with reinstatement conditioned upon a showing of fitness based on its finding that he violated D.C. R. Pro. Conduct 1.15(a) & (c), 1.16(d), and 8.4(d).1 Respondent has not filed any exceptions to the Board’s Report and Recommendation. 1 We grant the Board’s consent motion for leave to supplement the record with the video recording of the Board oral argument, and the Clerk is directed to file the recording as a supplemental record. 2 Under D.C. Bar R. XI, § 9(h)(2), “if no exceptions are filed to the Board’s report, the [c]ourt will enter an order imposing the discipline recommended by the Board upon the expiration of the time permitted for filing exceptions.” See In re Viehe, 762 A.2d 542, 543 (D.C. 2000) (per curiam) (“When . . . there are no exceptions to the Board’s report and recommendation, our deferential standard of review becomes even more deferential.”). Because no exceptions have been filed and we agree that the Board’s recommended sanction is reasonable and appropriate for the violations presented here,2 we accept the recommendation that respondent be suspended for sixty days with reinstatement conditioned on demonstrating fitness to practice law. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that respondent Robert B. Fitzpatrick is hereby suspended from the practice of law in this jurisdiction for sixty days, with reinstatement conditioned on demonstrating fitness to practice law. Respondent’s attention is directed to the requirements of D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14, and their effect on eligibility for reinstatement. See D.C. Bar R. XI, § 16(c). 2 See, e.g., In re Toppelberg, 906 A.2d 881, 881-82 (D.C. 2006) (per curiam) (imposing sixty-day suspension, with thirty days held in abeyance in favor of one year of supervised probation, for violations of multiple disciplinary rules including D.C. R. Pro. Conduct 1.15(a) and 8.4(d)); In re Burnett, 878 A.2d 1291, 1292 (D.C. 2005) (per curiam) (imposing thirty-day suspension with fitness requirement for misconduct including violation of D.C. R. Pro. Conduct 8.4(d)). 3 So ordered.
