No. 2021-0136-M.P.

In the Matter of Christopher M. Bijesse. :

ORDER

On October 5, 2022, pursuant to Article III, Rule 13 of the Supreme Court Rules of

Disciplinary Procedure for Attorneys, the respondent, Christopher M. Bijesse (also known as

Christopher Bijesse), filed an affidavit with the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court setting

forth that he is aware that he is the subject of an investigation into professional misconduct. The

respondent’s affidavit sets forth that he freely and voluntarily consents to disbarment, and that he

is fully aware of the implications of submitting his consent. On October 6, 2022, Disciplinary

Counsel filed respondent’s affidavit with the Court.

Upon review of respondent’s affidavit, we deem that an order disbarring respondent is

appropriate.

Accordingly, pursuant to Article III, Rule 13, it is hereby ordered, adjudged and decreed

that the respondent, Christopher M. Bijesse (also known as Christopher Bijesse), be and is hereby

disbarred on consent from engaging in the practice of law.

The respondent is directed to comply with the mandates of Article III, Rule 15 of the

Supreme Court Rules of Disciplinary Procedure for Attorneys, and within ten days after the

effective date of the disbarment order, respondent shall file with the Clerk of this Court an affidavit

showing:

(1) That he has fully complied with the provisions of this Order and with the requirements

of Article III, Rule 15;
(2) A list of other state, federal and administrative jurisdictions to which he is admitted to

practice law; and

(3) That he has served a copy of the affidavit upon Disciplinary Counsel. The affidavit

shall also set forth the residence or other address where communications may thereafter

be directed to respondent.

Entered as an Order of this Court this 17th day of October 2022.

By Order,
