DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION a suspended attorney.

The respondent was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on June 20, 2001. On December 27, 2017, the respondent was convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, in violation of 18 USC § 1349, and conspiracy to commit securities fraud, in violation of 18 USC § 371 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and on August 17, 2018, he was sentenced, inter alia, to 18 months imprisonment on each offense, to be served concurrently, followed by a three-year period of supervised release. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated January 3, 2019, the respondent was immediately suspended from the practice of law pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(f) as a result of his conviction of serious crimes, further disciplinary proceedings were held in abeyance pending the respondent's release from incarceration, and he was directed to promptly advise the Court upon his release from incarceration. By letter dated February 11, 2020, the respondent advised the Court that he had been released from incarceration.

Now, on the Court's own motion, and upon the papers filed with this Court, it is

ORDERED that pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1240.12(c)(2)(iii), the respondent, Evan Louis Greebel, is directed to show cause at a hearing why a final order of suspension, censure, or disbarment should not be made based on his conviction of serious crimes; and it is further,

ORDERED that the matter is referred to John J. Halloran, Jr., c/o John J. Halloran, Jr., P.C., 50 Main St. Ste. 1000, Westchester Financial Center, White Plains, NY 10606-1900, as Special Referee, to hear and report, with the hearing to be conducted within 60 days of the date of this decision and order on motion or as soon thereafter as practicable, and the report, which contains his findings on any mitigating or aggravating factors, and a recommendation as to whether the respondent has demonstrated why a final order of public discipline should not be made, to be submitted within 60 days after the conclusion of the hearing or the submission of post-hearing memoranda.
