Hunter Biden, former President Joe Biden‘s son, agreed Tuesday to be disbarred from practicing law in Washington, D.C., following his federal felony conviction, court records revealed. The D.C. Court of Appeals noted in a filing that Biden submitted a sealed affidavit consenting to disbarment.

The former first son and convicted felon filed an affidavit under seal in the DC Court of Appeals on Tuesday noting his “consent to disbarment.”

The voluntary decision to accept disbarment avoids potentially protracted proceedings over whether Hunter Biden’s two prior criminal cases required him to lose his law license.
