In the Matter of Stanley Edward Bogal,

a suspended attorney.

Grievance Committee for the Tenth

Judicial District, petitioner; Stanley

Edward Bogal, respondent.

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION

Motion by the respondent and cross motion by the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District, inter alia, for an order directing the respondent to be examined by a qualified medical expert to determine his present ability to appear at a hearing and defend himself and his present fitness to practice law. By decision and order on motion of this court dated March 5, 1998, the Grievance Committee was authorized to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against the respondent, and the matter was referred to the Honorable Luigi R. Marano, as Special Referee, to hear and report. By subsequent decision and order on motion of this court dated June 29, 1998, the Grievance Committee was authorized to prosecute two additional charges of professional misconduct against the respondent, which were referred to the previously-appointed Special Referee. By further decision and order on motion of this court dated October 26, 1999, the petitioner's motion to confirm the report of the Special Referee and the respondent's cross motion, inter alia, to disaffirm the report were held in abeyance pending receipt of a report of a qualified medical expert regarding the respondent's ability to appear at the hearing and adequately defend himself and his fitness to practice law. Finally, by decision and order on motion of this court dated April 3, 2001, the respondent was suspended from the practice of law pursuant to 22 NYCRR 691.13(b) on the ground that he was incapacitated from continuing to practice law by reason of a medical disability and the previously authorized disciplinary proceeding against him was held in abeyance. The respondent was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department on February 22, 1971.

Upon the papers submitted in support of the motion and the cross motion and in opposition to the motion, it is

ORDERED that the motion and cross motion are granted to the extent that the respondent is directed to be examined by a qualified medical expert, to be arranged by the Chief Counsel for the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District, to determine whether he is still suffering from a disability that makes it impossible for him to appear at a hearing and defend himself and whether he is still incapacitated from practicing law; and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion and the cross motion are otherwise held in abeyance pending receipt of the report of the medical expert.

ORDERED that the motion is granted to the extent that the decision and order on motion dated October 27, 2003, in the above-entitled matter, is amended by deleting from the first decretal paragraph thereof the words "based upon the acts of professional misconduct alleged in the Grievance Committee's memorandum dated April 9, 2003;" and substituting therefor the words "based upon facts alleged in a single submission to the court, tendered by the petitioner Grievance Committee under cover letter dated June 3, 2003;" and it is further,

ORDERED that the motion is otherwise denied.
