    IN RE Martin F. MCMAHON
    A Member of the Bar of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals Bar Registration No. 196642
    No. 19-BG-15
    District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
    FILED - March 21, 2019
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM

On consideration of the certified order suspending respondent's right to practice law in the state of Virginia for a period of sixty days; 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; the response thereto requesting either a stay or retroactive imposition of the suspension; the statement of Disciplinary Counsel and respondent's reply thereto; respondent's D.C. Bar R. XI, § 14 (g) affidavit and amended affidavit, jointly construed as meeting the requirement of In re Goldberg , 460 A.2d 982 (D.C. 1983) ; it is

ORDERED that Martin F. McMahon is hereby suspended from the practice of law in the District of Columbia for a period of sixty days, nunc pro tunc to November 13, 2018. See In re Sibley , 990 A.2d 483 (D.C. 2010) ; In re Fuller , 930 A.2d 194, 198 (D.C. 2007) (rebuttable presumption of identical reciprocal discipline applies unless one of the exceptions is established). To the extent respondent attempts to challenge the imposition of reciprocal discipline by relitigating the underlying findings and discipline imposed by the State of Virginia, such a challenge is improper in reciprocal disciplinary proceedings and respondent was provided notice of the charges and an opportunity to respond in the originating jurisdiction. See In re Zdravkovich , 831 A.2d 964, 969 (D.C. 2003) ("Put simply, reciprocal discipline proceedings are not a forum to reargue the foreign discipline.").
