    IN RE G. Paul HOWES, Petitioner. A Disbarred Member of the Bar of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Bar Registration No. 434709
    No. 17-BG-328
    District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
    Filed June 1, 2017
    BEFORE: Glickman and Thompson, Associate Judges, and Nebeker, Senior Judge.
    
      
       Judge Nebeker would deny the motion to reinstate. Mr. Howes violated a most sacred code as an Assistant United States Attorney for which, in my view, there is no redemption. The gravamina of his misconduct should be held as an example to all AUSAs that what he did will, for his lifetime, be a bar to reinstatement. For a former AUSA this would not be excessive. It would be justice.
    
   ORDER

ORDERED that petitioner’s petition for reinstatement is granted. It is

FURTHER ORDERED that G. Paul Howes is hereby reinstated to the Bar of the District of Columbia.
