ORDER


This Court has received a certified copy of the Order of Public Reprimand by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' Board of Bar Overseers of the Supreme Judicial Court dated June 21, 2007, publicly reprimanding Attorney Charles F. Perrault for his violations of the Supreme Court's Rules of Professional Conduct. Attorney Perrault has defaulted by failing to file any response to this Court's Order And Notice dated August 30, 2007 for him to show cause why the Court should not impose identical discipline to that imposed upon him in Massachusetts, as requested by Maine's Board of Overseers of the Bar.

Therefore, based upon that default, this Court hereby ORDERS:

  1. The Board of Overseers of the Bar's Petition for Reciprocal Discipline is hereby granted in all respects;

  2. Effective immediately and pursuant to M. Bar R. 7.3(h)(3), Attorney Charles F. Perrault is reprimanded for his violations of those portions of Maine's Code of Professional Responsibility that are analogous to those violations of Massachusetts' Rules of Professional Conduct by him as found in Massachusetts' Order of Public Reprimand dated June 21, 2007.

For the Court

Hon. Donald G. Alexander, Associate Justice - Maine Supreme Judicial Court
