DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION FOR REINSTATEMENT

Motion by Rony Princivil for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law. Mr. Princivil was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on February 4, 1998. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated September 13, 2013, Mr. Princivil was immediately suspended from the practice of law pursuant to 22 NYCRR 691.4(l)(1)(ii) and (iii), and the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District was authorized to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against him based upon the acts of professional misconduct set forth in a verified petition dated April 12, 2013. By opinion and order of this Court dated August 27, 2014, Mr. Princivil was suspended from the practice of law for a period of six months, with credit for the time elapsed under the decision and order on motion dated September 13, 2013. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated June 11, 2015, Mr. Princivil'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 current character and general fitness to practice law.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in relation thereto, and upon the report of the Committee on Character and Fitness and the exhibits annexed thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is denied.

We find that Rony Princivil does not demonstrate the requisite character and fitness to practice law.
