Respondent Deloris A. Brown was the subject of two disciplinary actions against her by the State Bar Court of California. In the first action, respondent was suspended from the practice of law for sixty days and placed on two years’ probation for misappropriating client funds and other misconduct. Respondent then faced allegations in the second action that she actively represented a client during her suspension and perjuriously denied doing so in an affidavit filed with the court.

The Board further recommends that respondent’s five-year suspension begin to run from November 13, 2000, the date on which she filed her affidavit in compliance with D.C. App. Rule XI, � 14 (g). See In re Slosberg, 650 A.2d 1329, 1331-32 (D.C. 1994). Neither Bar Counsel nor respondent contests the Board’s recommendation, and we adopt it. See In re Goldsborough, 654 A.2d 1285, 1288 (D.C. 1995). Accordingly, it is hereby
