IN RE Edgar F. NDJATOU

    No. 19-BG-158
    District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
    FILED - April 25, 2019
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM

On consideration of the certified order of the Court of Appeals of Maryland indefinitely suspending respondent from the practice of law by consent; this court's March 5, 2019, order directing respondent to show cause why the functionally equivalent discipline of an indefinite suspension with a fitness requirement, with the right to file for reinstatement after five years or after reinstatement by the state of Maryland, whichever occurs first, should not be imposed; and the statement of Disciplinary Counsel regarding reciprocal discipline; and it appearing that respondent failed to file a response to the court's show cause order but did file his D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g) affidavit on March 18, 2019, it is

ORDERED that Edgar F. Ndjatou is hereby indefinitely suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia nunc pro tunc to March 18, 2019, and reinstatement is conditioned on a showing of fitness to practice law. Respondent may file for reinstatement after five years or after reinstatement by the state of Maryland, whichever occurs first. See In re Sibley , 990 A.2d 483 (D.C. 2010), and In re Fuller , 930 A.2d 194, 198 (D.C. 2007) (rebuttable presumption of identical reciprocal discipline applies to all cases in which the respondent does not participate).
