IN RE PETER C. ANDERSON,
                                                            DDN: 2022-152
A Retired Member of the Bar of the
District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Bar Registration No. 436282

BEFORE: Blackburne-Rigsby, Chief Judge, and Easterly and Howard, Associate
        Judges.
                              ORDER
                       (FILED—April 13, 2023)

      On consideration of the certified order from the state of North Carolina
disbarring respondent from the practice of law by consent; this court’s February 24,
2023, order suspending respondent pending disposition of this matter and directing
him to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed; respondent’s
response thereto wherein he states he does not object to reciprocal disbarment and
his March 8, 2023, D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g) affidavit; and the statement of
Disciplinary Counsel, it is

       ORDERED that Peter C. Anderson is hereby disbarred from the practice of
law in the District of Columbia, nunc pro tunc to March 8, 2023. In addition to the
other requirements for reinstatement, Mr. Anderson must be reinstated by the state
of North Carolina prior to filing a petition for reinstatement in this jurisdiction. 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); see also In re Hoffman, 267 A.3d 1016
(D.C. 2022) (conditioning eligibility to seek reinstatement on readmission in original
disciplining jurisdiction).
