C.D. Cal. L.R. 83-3.2.3
Contested Matters
If the attorney files a written
response to the Order to Show Cause within the time specified
stating that the entry of an order of suspension or disbarment is
contested, then the Chief Judge or other district judge who may
be assigned shall determine whether an order of suspension or
disbarment or other appropriate order shall be entered. Where
an attorney has been suspended or disbarred by another Bar, or
has resigned from another Bar while disciplinary proceedings
were pending, the attorney in the response to the Order to Show
Cause, must set forth facts establishing one or more of the
following: (a) the procedure in the other jurisdiction was so
lacking in notice or opportunity to be heard as to constitute a
deprivation of due process; (b) there was such an infirmity of
proof establishing the misconduct as to give rise to a clear
conviction that the Court should not accept as final the other
jurisdiction’s conclusion(s) on that subject; (c) imposition of
like discipline would result in a grave injustice; or (d)other
substantial reasons exist so as to justify not accepting the other
jurisdiction’s conclusion(s). In addition, at the time the
response is filed, the attorney must produce a certified copy of
the entire record from the other jurisdiction or bear the burden
of persuading the Court that less than the entire record will
suffice.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
