Hunter Biden‘s license to practice law in Washington, D.C., was suspended Tuesday, two weeks after the first son was convicted of felony gun charges.

The District of Columbia Court of Appeals issued the decision, stating in a two-page order that Biden was “suspended immediately” from practicing law in Washington because he had committed “serious crimes” as defined by D.C. Bar rules.

The suspension is temporary, and a panel known as the Board on Professional Responsibility will review the matter further to consider whether to recommend to the appellate court that it permanently disbar Biden, according to a letter published alongside the order.

James Phalen, an attorney on the board, wrote in the letter addressed to Biden that he could submit his position on his disbarment to the board by Aug. 2, 2024, meaning the board would not make any recommendations to the appellate court until after that date.

Phalen noted that the board’s task will be to consider whether Biden’s crimes “involve moral turpitude.”

A jury in Delaware found Biden guilty on June 11 of three felonies related to his purchase of a revolver in 2018. The charges included Biden lying on a federal form about his addiction to crack cocaine to purchase the gun and then unlawfully retaining the firearm for several days while he was a drug addict.

The charges carry a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison and fines, but sentencing guidelines suggest the first son could face up to several months in prison.

A judge indicated his sentencing could take place in a few months, and Biden is, in the meantime, in the process of fighting his conviction.

On Tuesday, his defense team filed a long-shot request for a new gun trial based on a technicality regarding appellate court responses he received before his trial took place. He may also appeal the conviction.
