DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION FOR REINSTATEMENT

Motion by Emmanuel Onuaguluchi for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law. Mr. Onuaguluchi was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on May 19, 1993. By decision and order on application of this Court dated July 15, 2005, the Grievance Committee for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial Districts was authorized to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against Mr. Onuaguluchi and the issues raised were referred to the Honorable Vincent Pizzuto, as Special Referee, to hear and report. By opinion and order of this Court dated October 24, 2006, Mr. Onuaguluchi was disbarred based on six charges of professional misconduct. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated April 3, 2007, Mr. Onuaguluchi's motion, inter alia, for reargument was denied.

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

ORDERED that the motion is denied.

We find that Emmanuel Onuaguluchi does not demonstrate the requisite character and fitness to practice law.

ENG, P.J., MASTRO, RIVERA, DILLON and DICKERSON, JJ., concur.
