N.D. Cal. Civil L.R. 11-7

(a) Required Notice of Change in Status. Any attorney admitted to practice in this

Court or any attorney appearing pro hac vice who is convicted of a felony,

suspended, disbarred, or placed on disciplinary probation by any court, or who

resigns from the bar of any court with an investigation into allegations of

unprofessional conduct pending, must give notice to the Clerk and the Clerk of the

Bankruptcy Court in writing within 14 days of such event.

(b) Order to Show Cause. Unless referred to the Standing Committee on Professional

Conduct, matters subject to reciprocal discipline on the grounds listed in paragraph

(a) above shall be handled as follows:

(1) Whenever a member of the bar of this Court or any attorney appearing pro hac

vice who is convicted of a felony, disbarred, suspended for reasons other than

those noted in Civil L.R. 11-1(g), or who resigns from the bar of any court with

an investigation into allegations of unprofessional conduct pending, the Chief

District Judge will enter an order suspending that member on an interim basis

from practice before this Court and affording the member an opportunity to

show cause, within 28 days, why a suspension or disbarment order should not

be entered. If the attorney files a response stating that imposition of an order of

suspension or disbarment from this Court is not contested, or if the attorney

does not respond to the Order to Show Cause within the time specified, then

the Court shall enter an order of suspension or disbarment.

(2) An attorney who wishes to contest reciprocal discipline must file with the

Court a timely response to the order to show cause. The Chief District Judge

may then act on the matter, order it randomly assigned to another Judge or refer

it to the Standing Committee on Professional Conduct for report and

recommendation. 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, together with the response to the Order to Show

Cause, the attorney must lodge with the Court 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. This procedure may not be used to

relitigate a felony conviction.

(3) An attorney disbarred, suspended or placed on disciplinary probation under the

reciprocal discipline provisions of this rule may seek reinstatement upon

completion of the period of suspension, disbarment, or disciplinary probation

by filing a petition for admission with the Clerk as provided in Civil L.R. 11-

1(c) and paying the admission fee in accordance with 11-1(d). An attorney

disbarred by reason of a felony conviction may not petition for reinstatement

until at least one year after entry of the disbarment order.
