On consideration of the certified order disbarring respondent from the practice of law in the state of North Carolina and imposing condition for reinstatement; this court's September 28, 2018, order suspending respondent and directing him to show cause why reciprocal discipline should not be imposed; and the statement of Disciplinary Counsel regarding reciprocal discipline; and it appearing that respondent failed to file a response to this court's order to show cause or his D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14 (g) affidavit, it is

ORDERED that Wilton K. Elder Jr. is hereby disbarred from the practice of law in the District of Columbia and reinstatement is contingent on his satisfying the conditions imposed by the state of North Carolina.

It is

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