                                (FILED - July 28, 2016)

       On consideration of the certified order suspending respondent from the

respondent’s D.C. Bar R. XI, §14 (g) affidavit filed on June 13, 2014, this court’s
April 19, 2016, order directing respondent to show cause why the functionally-
equivalent reciprocal discipline of a thirty-month suspension with a fitness
requirement should not be imposed, the statement of Disciplinary Counsel
regarding reciprocal discipline, and it appearing that respondent did not file a
response to this court’s order, it is

       ORDERED that James M. Cutshaw is hereby suspended from the practice of
law in the District of Columbia for a period of thirty months, nunc pro tunc to June
13, 2014. Reinstatement is contingent upon a showing of fitness. See In re Sibley,
