| DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION FOR REINSTATEMENT |
Motion by the respondent, Alan Zigman, for reinstatement as an attorney and counselor-at-law. By decision and order on motion of this court dated October 26, 2004, the respondent was immediately suspended from the practice of law, pursuant to Judiciary Law §90(4)(f), as a result of his conviction of a serious crime.

By opinion and order dated March 21, 2006, this court granted the Grievance Committee's motion to confirm the report of the Special Referee sustaining one charge of professional misconduct against the respondent and he was suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year, commencing immediately, with credit for the time already elapsed under the interim suspension imposed by order of this court dated October 26, 2004. The respondent was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on March 24, 1993, under the name of Alan Scott Zigman.
Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in response thereto, it is
ORDERED that the motion is held in abeyance and the matter is referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on the respondent's current fitness to practice law, including but not limited to details of his compliance with this court's order of suspension and/or his prior voluntary closing of his practice.
