Sec.  201.24  Suspension or disbarment.



    The Administration may, in its discretion, deny admission to, 

suspend, or disbar any person from practice before the Administration 

who it finds does not possess the requisite qualifications to represent 

others or is lacking in character, integrity, or to have engaged in 

unethical or improper professional conduct. Disrespectful, disorderly, 

or contumacious language or contemptuous conduct at any hearing before 

the Administration or a presiding officer shall constitute grounds for 

immediate exclusion from said hearing by the Presiding Officer. Any 

person who has been admitted to practice before the Administration may 

be disbarred from such practice only after he has been afforded an 

opportunity to be heard.
