                           (FILED— January 5, 2023)

      On consideration of the certified order from the state of Maryland suspending
respondent from the practice of law by consent for 60 days, stayed in favor of two
years of probation with terms; this court’s October 28, 2022, order directing
respondent to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed;
respondent’s response stating that he does not oppose identical discipline; and the
statement of Disciplinary Counsel, it is

       ORDERED that Nema Sayadian is hereby suspended from the practice of law
in the District of Columbia for 60 days, stayed in favor of two years of probation
subject to compliance with all terms imposed by the state of Maryland. See In re
Sibley, 990 A.2d 483, 487-88 (D.C. 2010) (explaining that there is a rebuttable
presumption in favor of imposition of identical discipline and exceptions to this
presumption should be rare).
