I dunno, but the suspension was in Sept. 2022 (was it tolled? delayed? did the reciprocal discipline run differently?) so it could easily be over by the time of the June 2025 deposition.

It looks like the 2024 was the DC BPR, which was then appealed, and the appeal opinion issued Aug. 7, 2025 (last week!). It seems that the suspension was tolled until then, as there was a pending stay motion. (This is also well outside the realm of what most would call "civpro.")

Which should mean that his representation of Ms. Loomer would be within bounds as this Deposition was prior to the 8/7 ruling?

That seems a reasonable interpretation, but really I don't know. And it's unclear how instantly such things take effect. Both the DC BPR and the DC federal District Court show him as currently suspended right now, idk. But there's no chance that opposing counsel in the Florida action is unaware!
