No. 23-BG-0479

IN RE DAVID T. SCHLENDORF
                                                           DDN:045-23
A Suspended Member of the Bar of the
District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Bar Reg. No. 463998

BEFORE: McLeese and Deahl, Associate Judges, and Washington, Senior Judge.

                                  ORDER
                            (FILED— August 17, 2023)

      On consideration of the certified order from the state of New Jersey
permanently disbarring respondent by consent; this court’s June 16, 2023, order
suspending respondent pending disposition of this matter and directing him to show
cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed; and the statement of
Disciplinary Counsel; and it appearing that respondent has not filed a response or
his D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g) affidavit, it is

       ORDERED that David T. Schlendorf is hereby disbarred from the practice of
law in the District of Columbia. 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); In re Fuller, 930 A.2d
194, 198 (D.C. 2007) (explaining that a rebuttable presumption of identical
reciprocal discipline applies unless one of the exceptions is established). It is

      FURTHER ORDERED that, for purposes of reinstatement, Mr. Schlendorf’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).
