Text: The Arizona disciplinary order was entered on June 29, 2005. Respondent did not report the discipline to Bar Counsel, as D.C. Bar R. XI, § 11(b) requires. Bar Counsel instead learned of the Arizona discipline from the ABA National Lawyer Regulatory Data Bank and, on February 23, 2007, filed a certified copy of the Arizona Court's order with the Court. Statement of Bar Counsel, p. 3. [2] The Court, on March 14, 2007, issued an order suspending Respondent pending final resolution of this matter and referring the case to the Board with the direction that the Board recommend whether identical, greater or lesser discipline should be imposed as reciprocal discipline or whether the Board, instead, elects to proceed de novo.  Order, In re Reed, No. 07-BG-88 (D.C. Mar. 14, 2007).
