ADMITTING AND DISCIPLINING ATTORNEYS

(a) Admission. Any attorney admitted to practice before the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and in good standing before that court, may practice before the United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Eighth Circuit. No separate admission fee shall be required. An attorney who is not admitted may file a written pleading but may not appear to present oral argument. (b) Discipline. The court may take any appropriate disciplinary action against an attorney who practices before it for conduct unbecoming a member of the bar or for failure to comply with these Rules or any court Rule. Counsel will be afforded reasonable notice, an opportunity to show cause to the contrary, and, if requested, a hearing. The bankruptcy appellate panel may direct the clerk to refer a disciplinary matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. 14
