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 Supreme Court of the Appellate Division in the Second Judicial Department on July 29, 1981.

Upon the papers submitted in support of the motion and the papers submitted in relation thereto, it is
