DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION
FOR REINSTATEMENT

Motion by the respondent, Daniel D. Tartaglia, admitted as Daniel David Tartaglia, for reinstatement to the Bar 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, under the name Daniel David Tartaglia. By decision and order on motion of this court dated April 15, 2008, as amended by decision and order on motion dated May 2, 2008, the court, on its own motion, suspended the respondent as a result of his conviction of a serious crime, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(f), authorized the Grievance Committee for the Ninth Judicial District to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against him, and referred the issues raised to the Honorable William D. Friedmann, as Special Referee to hear and report. By opinion and order of this court dated July 14, 2009, the respondent was suspended from the practice for a period of one year, with credit for the time elapsed under his interim suspension, and was granted leave to apply for reinstatement immediately. By decision and order on motion of this court dated November 5, 2009, the respondent 's motion for reinstatement was held in abeyance and the matter was referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on his fitness to be an attorney, including but not limited to, his 2008 tax return.

Upon the papers submitted in support of the motion and the papers submitted in relation thereto, and upon the report of the Committee on Character and Fitness dated August 9, 2010, and the exhibits annexed thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is denied with leave to renew upon presentation of the respondent's tax returns.
