2. “Nothing in our rules governing reciprocal discipline is at all inconsistent with the procedural requirements of this statutory provision .... the statute expressly permits this court to “suspend the person charged from practice at [the] bar pending the hearing,” D.C.Code § ll-2503(b) — clear authority for a temporary suspension under D.C. Bar R. XI § 11(d) pending final disposition of the reciprocal disciplinary proceeding. Such authority does not violate the Due Process Clause.”

3. “D.C. Bar R. XI, § 11 assures that an evidentiary hearing on the alleged misconduct will take place (absent waiver) in the jurisdiction where that conduct occurred, and that the respondent attorney will have an opportunity to be heard at a District of Columbia proceeding on whether the evidentiary hearing comported with due process.”
