Within one year from the date of this order, respondent may move the court for vacation of the order of suspension and for leave to answer the petition for disciplinary action. If respondent fails to appear in this matter within one year of the date of filing of this order, the allegations in the petition for disciplinary action shall be deemed admitted.
