Opinion

PER CURIAM

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 February 5, 2018, order directing respondent to show cause why the functionally-equivalent discipline of a one-year suspension with fitness should not be imposed; and it appearing that respondent failed to file either a response to the court's show cause order or his D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14 (g) affidavit, it is

ORDERED that John A. Giannetti is hereby suspended for a period of one year with reinstatement conditioned on a showing of fitness. See In re Sibley , 990 A.2d 483 (D.C. 2010), and 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

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.
