BEFORE: Thompson and McLeese, Associate Judges, and Nebeker, Senior Judge.

ORDER (FILED— August 12, 2021)

On consideration of the certified order of the Court of Appeals of Maryland indefinitely suspending respondent from the practice of law in that jurisdiction with the right to seek reinstatement after one year; this court’s May 6, 2021, order suspending respondent pending resolution of this matter and directing him to show cause why equivalent reciprocal discipline in the form of a one-year suspension with a fitness requirement should not be imposed; and the statement of Disciplinary Counsel; and it appearing that respondent failed to file either a response to this court’s order to show cause or his D.C. Bar R. XI, §14(g) affidavit, it is

ORDERED that John T. Riely is hereby suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia for a period of one year with reinstatement contingent upon a showing of fitness. See In re Sibley, 990 A.2d 483 (D.C. 2010); In re Fuller, 930 A.2d 194, 198 (D.C. 2007) (rebuttable presumption of identical reciprocal discipline applies to all cases in which the respondent does not participate). It is No. 21-BG-268

FURTHER ORDERED that for purposes of reinstatement respondent’s suspension will not begin to run until such time as he files his D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14(g) affidavit.
