In 2003, the First Circuit suspended the respondent from practicing law before that court for a period of one year after concluding that he failed to comply with a court order to pay monetary sanctions for the filing of a frivolous appeal.  See Maher v. Hyde, 272 F.3d 83, 86-88 (1st Cir. 2001).  A petition for reciprocal discipline was filed in the county court, where a single justice entered an order suspending the respondent from practicing law in the Commonwealth for one year.  See Matter of Collins, 19 Mass. Att'y Discipline Rep. 95, 95-100 (2003).  The respondent completed the term of suspension, after which he was reinstated and resumed the practice of law.
