In the Matter of Anthony Joseph CORIZZI.

No. 49S00-0603-DI-104.

Supreme Court of Indiana.

May 17, 2006.

ORDER IMPOSING IDENTICAL RECIPROCAL DISCIPLINE

The Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission filed its Verified Notice of Foreign Discipline and Petition for Issuance of an Order to Show Cause on March 21, 2006, advising that the respondent, Anthony Joseph Corizzi, was disciplined by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals and the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board. The Commission requests, pursuant to Ind. Admission and Discipline Rule 28(28), that identical reciprocal discipline be imposed in this state. On April 3, 2006, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause. On April 4, 2006, respondent filed a response to which the Commission replied on April 11, 2006. On April 20, 2006, respondent requested an extension of time to respond further. This case is now before us for final resolution.

We now find that the respondent was admitted to practice law in Indiana on June 8, 1979. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals disbarred the respondent on July 25, 2002 and the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board revoked his license to practice in the Commonwealth of Virginia on September 27, 2002. Respondent was disbarred for suborning perjury, failing to advise a client of a settlement offer and making false statements to a court and to Bar Counsel.

We find further that, pursuant to Ad-mis.Disc.R. 28(28)(c),1 the respondent has failed to demonstrate why reciprocal discipline should not issue in this.

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the respondent's request for an extension of time is denied and, that the respondent, Anthony Joseph Corizzi, is hereby sus*175pended from the practice of law in this state. The respondent shall not be eligible to petition for reinstatement in this state pursuant to Admis.Disc.R. 23(4) until reinstated to the practice of law in the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Virginia or upon further order of this Court.

The Clerk of this Court is directed to forward notice of this Order to the respondent or his attorney, to the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, to the clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, to the clerk of each of the United States District Courts in this state, to the clerks of the United States Bankruptcy Courts in this state, to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, to the Virginia State Bar Disciplinary Board, and to all other entities pursuant to Admis.Disc.R. 28(8)(d), governing suspension.

All Justices concur.
