PER CURIAM
On consideration of the certified order of the Court of Appeals of Maryland disbarring respondent by consent from the practice of law in that jurisdiction; this court's January 23, 2019, order suspending respondent pending resolution of this matter and directing him to show cause why reciprocal discipline 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.
