In re Young
Opinion of the Court
On November 6, 2003, the respondent, George G. Young, III, pled guilty to twenty-one felony counts of mail fraud, false statements, and theft of government funds in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341,1001, and 641, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Mail fraud and theft of government property are indeed both crimes of moral turpitude per se.
ORDERED that George G. Young, III, is disbarred pursuant to D.C.Code § 11-2503(a), from the practice of law in the District of Columbia. Respondent has not filed the affidavit required by D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g); we direct his attention to the requirements of that rule and their effect on his eligibility for reinstatement. See D.C. Bar R. XI, § 16(c).
So ordered.
. Respondent was sentenced on February 12, 2004.
. See, e.g., In re Firestone, 824 A.2d 47 (D.C. 2003) (mail fraud is an offense involving moral turpitude); In re Patterson, 833 A.2d 493 (D.C. 2003) (theft of government property in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 641, involves moral turpitude per se).
