       On consideration of the two separate certified orders from the state of Texas

Texas; this court’s March 25, 2019, 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 failed to file a response to this court’s show cause order; and it further
appearing that respondent filed his D.C. Bar R. XI, §14(g) affidavit on April 22,
2019, it is
      ORDERED that Jason Lee Van Dyke is hereby suspended from the practice
of law in the District of Columbia for a period of eighteen months, nunc pro tunc to
April 22, 2019, all but three months of the suspension stayed, followed by a fifteen-
month period of probation subject to the conditions imposed by the state of Texas.

in which the respondent does not participate).
