No. 22-BG-809

IN RE YORAM KEINAN,
                                                    DDN: 2022-D046
A Member of the Bar of the
District of Columbia Court of Appeals

Bar Registration No. 477195

BEFORE: Beckwith, Easterly, and Deahl, Associate Judges.

                                  ORDER
                            (FILED— January 5, 2023)

       On consideration of the certified order from the state of New York suspending
respondent by consent for one year and until further order of the court; this court’s
October 28, 2022, order suspending respondent pending final disposition of this
proceeding and directing him to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not be
imposed; respondent’s D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g) affidavit filed on November 9, 2022;
and the statement of Disciplinary Counsel; and it appearing that respondent has not
filed a response, it is

       ORDERED that Yoram Keinan is hereby suspended from the practice of law
in the District of Columbia for one year, nunc pro tunc to November 9, 2022.
Respondent’s reinstatement is conditioned upon his reinstatement in New York and
a showing of fitness. 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 to all cases in which the respondent does not participate).
