RULE 2090-4. Attorney Discipline, Suspension, and Disbarment.
This Court shall enforce the disciplinary rules set forth in L.R. 83.2 when circumstances warrant discipline in this Court. The reference to "Chief Judge" in the Local Rules of Procedure of the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, as incorporated in the Local Rules, shall mean the Chief Bankruptcy Judge or other bankruptcy judge designated by the Chief Bankruptcy Judge.
Comment: According to Price v. Lehtinen (In re Lehtinen), 2009 WL 1119530 (9th Cir. 2009), a bankruptcy court has the inherent power to disbar or suspend an attorney from practice, provided appropriate due process is afforded.
