In the Matter of Robert E. Liedy, admitted as Robert Edward Liedy, a suspended attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 1024272)
| DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION FOR REINSTATEMENT |
Motion by the respondent for reinstatement as an attorney and counselor-at-law. By opinion and order of this court dated November 6, 2000, the respondent was suspended from the practice of law for a period of two years, effective December 11, 2000, based upon charges that he engaged in improper conduct involving fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation, which was prejudicial to the administration of justice and which adversely reflected on his fitness to practice law, based upon his depositing personal funds into his attorney escrow fund in an effort to prevent his creditors from locating his assets and executing judgments obtained against him, and improperly drawing checks upon his IOLA account payable to cash. By decision and order on motion dated November 24, 2004, the respondent's first application for reinstatement was denied with leave to renew upon proof that he re-registered with the Office of Court Administration and upon submission of his tax records for the years 2000 and 2001, if filed. By decision and order on motion of this court dated May 9, 2005, the respondent's second application for reinstatement was held in abeyance and referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness. The respondent was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on October 13, 1976, under the name Robert Edward Liedy.
Upon the report of the Committee on Character and Fitness, it is
ORDERED that the motion is granted; and it is further,
ORDERED that, effective immediately, the respondent Robert E. Liedy, admitted as Robert Edward Liedy, is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law and the Clerk of the Court is directed to restore the name of Robert E. Liedy, admitted as Robert Edward Liedy, to the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
