FERREN, Associate Judge,
concurring:
I join in the opinion of the court. I continue to believe, however, that the statute mandating disbarment for conviction “of an offense involving moral turpitude,” D.C.Code § ll-2503(a) (1981), does not preclude reinstatement pursuant to D.C. App.R. XI, § 21(2), upon a showing of rehabilitation and competence to practice law after the expiration of at least five years from the effective date of the disbarment. In re Kerr, 424 A.2d 94, 99 (D.C.1980) (Ferren, J., dissenting); see In re Wolff, 511 A.2d 1047 (D.C.1986) (en banc).
