pending resolution 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 failed to file either a response to this court’s order to show
cause or his D.C. Bar R. XI, §14(g) affidavit, it is

       ORDERED that Joseph A. Ferriero is hereby disbarred from the practice of
law in the District of Columbia. See In re Sibley, 990 A.2d 483 (D.C. 2010); In re
Fuller, 930 A.2d 194, 198 (D.C. 2007) (rebuttable presumption of identical
reciprocal discipline applies to all cases in which the respondent does not
participate). It is

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