PER CURIAM:
Tristan Wade Gillespie appeals the district court’s order imposing a four-month
suspension on his ability to practice law. We will vacate a district court’s disciplinary order
“only when the conduct of the district court was irregular or was flagrantly improper.” In
re Morrissey, 305 F.3d 211, 218 (4th Cir. 2002). We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error because, as the district court concluded, Gillespie made
misrepresentations to defendants and to the court in numerous civil actions he filed
asserting claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12181 to 12189.
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. In re Gillespie, No. 1:21-mc-00014 (D.
Md. Aug. 7, 2024). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
