M.D.N.C. LR 83.10c

(a) Duty to Inform the Clerk. Any attorney practicing before this Court shall,

upon being subjected to public discipline by any court or by the state bar of any state,

promptly inform the clerk of such action.

(b) Show Cause Order. Upon the filing of a certified copy of a judgment or

order demonstrating that an attorney has been disciplined by another court or by a state

bar, this Court shall forthwith issue a notice containing a copy of the judgment or order

and an order to show cause directing that the attorney inform this Court within 21 days

why imposition of the identical discipline by this Court would be unwarranted and the

reasons therefor.

(c) Imposition of Discipline. Upon expiration of 21 days from service of the

show cause order, this Court will presume the misconduct to have been established and

will impose the identical discipline unless the attorney demonstrates that upon the face of

the record upon which the discipline in another jurisdiction is predicated it clearly

appears:

(1) that the attorney was deprived of due process; or

(2) that there was such an infirmity of proof that this Court could not

accept as final the conclusion on that subject; or

(3) that the imposition of the same discipline by this Court would result

in grave injustice; or

(4) that the misconduct established is deemed by this Court to warrant

substantially different discipline. Where this Court determines that

any of said elements exist, it shall enter such order as it deems

appropriate. The grant of a stay of discipline by the other

jurisdiction shall constitute grounds for a similar grant by this Court.
