[¶4] The record reflects thát no current address is known for Matson. In an affidavit filed by Assistant Disciplinary Counsel, efforts to locate and serve Matson were outlined. Therefore, service was made on the Clerk of the Supreme Court under Admission to Practice R. 1. On May 10, 2017, Disciplinary Counsel served notice under N.D.R. Lawyer Discipl. 4.4(B) that a certified copy of an order of discipline entered by the Supreme Court of Minnesota was received. The notice, informed Mat-son. he had 30 days to file any claim that imposition of the identical discipline in North Dakota would be unwarranted and the reasons for the claim. No response was received from Matson.

[¶5] The Disciplinary Board considered the matter. On August 9, 2017, the Board recommended Matson be disbarred.

[¶6] The Court considered the matter, and

[¶7] ORDERED, that Matson is DISBARRED from the practice of law in North Dakota, effective immediately.

[ITS] IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that Matson must comply' with N.D.R. Lawyer Discipl. 6.3 regarding notice.

[¶9] IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that reinstatement is governed by N.D.R. Lawyer Discipl. 4.5.
