Motion by the respondent for reinstatement as an attorney and counselor-at-law. The respondent was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on July 22, 1987. By decision and order on motion of this court dated June 3, 2005, he was immediately suspended pursuant to Judiciary Law §90(4)(f), the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District was authorized to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against him, and the issues raised were referred to the Honorable Lawrence J.

By further decision and order on motion dated June 29, 2005, the respondent's motion to stay enforcement of that order was granted to the extent that the effective date of the suspension was extended to July 22, 2005. By opinion and order of this court dated September 12, 2006, the respondent was suspended from the practice of law for a period of two years based on his conviction of a serious crime.
