ORDER (FILED - April 30, 2015) On consideration of the certified order of the Court of Appeals of Maryland indefinitely suspending respondent from the practice of law in that jurisdiction, see Attorney Grievance Com’n of Maryland v. Feldman, 106 A.3d 1158 (Md. 2014), this court’s February 12, 2014, order suspending respondent and directing him to show cause why the functionally equivalent discipline in the form of a suspension for a period of five years or until reinstated to the bar of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, whichever is first, with his reinstatement conditioned upon a showing of fitness, should not be imposed, the statement of respondent, respondent’s D.C. Bar R. XI, §14 (g) affidavits filed on March 11, 2014, this court’s April 14, 2014, order that stayed final resolution until after the proceedings in Maryland had been completed, this court’s February 18, 2015, order that lifted the stay, continued respondent’s suspension, and directed him to show cause why the functionally equivalent discipline in the form of a suspension for a period of five years or until reinstated to the bar of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, whichever is first, with his reinstatement conditioned upon a showing of fitness, should not be imposed, and the statements of respondent and Bar Counsel regarding reciprocal discipline, it is ORDERED that Larry J. Feldman is hereby indefinitely suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia, nunc pro tunc to March 11, 2014. Respondent is eligible to seek reinstatement after a period of five years or after reinstatement to either the bar of Maryland or the bar of the United States District No. 14-BG-108 Court for the District of Maryland, whichever occurs first.
