On consideration of the certified order of the Supreme Court of New Jersey that suspended respondent from the practice of law in that jurisdiction for a period of three years or until further order of the court; this court's October 15, 2018, order suspending respondent and directing him to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed; and the statement of Disciplinary Counsel regarding reciprocal discipline; and it appearing that respondent has failed to file either a response to this court's order to show cause or an affidavit as required by D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14 (g), it is

ORDERED that Michael B. Adelhock is hereby suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia for a period of three years with reinstatement conditioned on a showing of fitness.

It is

FURTHER ORDERED that for purposes of reinstatement the period of respondent's suspension will not begin to run until such time as he files a D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14 (g) affidavit.
