DECISION & ORDER ON

Thomas C. Brooks, Jr., was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on October 22, 2003. By opinion and order of this Court dated April 3, 2012, under Appellate Division Docket No. 2009-06541, Mr. Brooks was suspended from the practice of law for a period of two years, commencing May 3, 2012. By opinion and order of this Court dated September 24, 2014, under Appellate Division Docket No. 2012-10114, Mr. Brooks was suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year, effective immediately, in addition to the period of suspension imposed in the prior separate disciplinary proceeding. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated January 20, 2017, a motion by Mr. Brooks for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law was held in abeyance and the matter was referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on his character and fitness to practice law. By letter dated April 11, 2018, Mr. Brooks asks to withdraw his motion for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law.

Now, on the Court's own motion, it is

ORDERED that the decision and order on motion of this Court dated January 20, 2017, is recalled and vacated, and the motion for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law is deemed withdrawn.
