This just in:  The Committee on Grievances for the Southern District to New York issued an order today suspending Richard Liebowitz from practicing law in the SDNY, pending the final adjudication of the charges against him and until Liebowitz has the opportunity to present his defense at an evidentiary hearing. 

The Order provides in part:
