(b) Upon the filing of a certified copy of a judgment or order demonstrating that an attorney admitted to practice before this Court has been disciplined by another court as described above, this Court may refer the matter to the Committee for a recommendation for appropriate action, or may issue a notice directed to the attorney containing:
(2) An order to show cause directing that the attorney inform this Court, within thirty (30) days after service of the order to show cause of any claim by the attorney predicated upon the grounds set forth in subsection (e), infra, that the imposition of identical discipline by the Court would be unwarranted and the reasons therefor.
(d) After consideration of the response called for by the order issued pursuant to subsection B, supra, or after expiration of the time specified in that order, the Court may impose the identical discipline or may impose any other sanction the Court may deem appropriate.
(e) A final adjudication in another court that an attorney has been guilty of misconduct shall establish conclusively the misconduct for purpose of a disciplinary proceeding in this Court, unless the attorney demonstrates and the Court is satisfied that upon the face of the record upon which the discipline in another jurisdiction is predicated it clearly appears that:
(2) there was such an infirmity of proof establishing misconduct as to give rise to the clear conviction that this Court could not, consistent with its duty, accept as final the conclusion on that subject; or
(3) the imposition of the same discipline by this Court would result in grave injustice; or
(4) the misconduct established is deemed by this Court to warrant substantially different discipline.
