       On consideration of the certified order from the state of New York accepting
respondent’s resignation from the practice of law while he was under disciplinary

in the District of Columbia. See In re Sibley, 990 A.2d 483 (D.C. 2010); In re Fuller,

      FURTHER ORDERED that for purposes of reinstatement respondent’s
disbarment will not begin to run until such time as he files an affidavit that fully
complies with the requirements of D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g).
