FAILURE TO ANSWER/FAILURE TO APPEAR

(a) Failure to Answer. Failure to answer charges filed shall constitute an admission by the respondent of the factual allegations and the misconduct alleged in the formal charges. (b) Failure to Appear. If the respondent fails, without good cause, to appear at a disciplinary proceeding, the respondent shall be deemed to have admitted the factual and misconduct allegations that were to be the subject of such appearance, and/or to have waived objection to any motion or recommendations to be considered at such appearance. The Grievance Commission panel or Board may not, absent good cause, continue or delay proceedings due to the respondent’s failure to appear.
