N.D. Ind. L.R. 83-6.8

(a) Discipline by Another Court. The court may discipline an attorney if another

court in the United States or its territories, possessions, or commonwealths

disciplines the attorney.

(b) Discipline Process. When a certified or exemplified copy of the judgment or

order imposing the discipline is filed with this court, the chief judge must

promptly order the disciplined attorney to show cause within 30 days after the

order is served why the court should not impose identical discipline (other than

a fine).

(c) Identical Discipline. The court must impose identical discipline (other than a

fine) as the other court unless:

(1) the other court stays its order, in which case this court must defer any

identical discipline until the stay expires;

(2) the chief judge refers the matter to the grievance committee:

(A) for disciplinary proceedings, in which case the committee must

treat the referral as a grievance; or

(B) to recommend appropriate action in light of the other court’s

discipline; or

(3) the attorney demonstrates, or the court finds from the record’s face, that:

(A) the other court’s procedure lacked sufficient notice or opportunity

to be heard to provide the attorney with due process;

(B) the proof supporting the misconduct is so lacking that this court

cannot, consistent with its duty, accept the other court’s order as

final;

(C) imposing identical discipline would result in a grave injustice; or

(D) the misconduct warrants substantially different discipline.
