[*1]In the Matter of ATTORNEYS IN VIOLATION OF JUDICIARY LAW § 468-a. COMMITTEE ON PROFESSIONALDECISION AND ORDER STANDARDS, ON MOTION Petitioner;

and

MARK W. WERMAN and AUDREY J. MOSS, Respondents.


Calendar Date: January 24, 2005
Before: Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Crew III, Peters and Spain, JJ.


Mark S. Ochs, Committee on Professional Standards,
Albany, for petitioner.
Mark W. Werman and Audrey J. Moss, Albany, New
Zealand, respondents pro se.

Per Curiam.

Respondents, currently residing in New Zealand, were admitted to practice by this Court in 1976 and were suspended by order entered June 7, 1999, for failure to comply with the attorney registration requirements of Judiciary Law § 468-a (262 AD2d 702 [1999]); they now request reinstatement.

It appears that respondents' failure to register with the Office of Court Administration was caused by that office's entry of an incorrect address into its registration database (the address was entered as Albany, New York, instead of Albany, New Zealand). In view of these circumstances, this Court's order entered June 7, 1999, insofar as it applies to respondents, is vacated, nunc pro tunc, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to restore respondents to the roll of attorneys in good standing, effective immediately.

Cardona, P.J., Mercure, Crew III, Peters and Spain, JJ., concur. [*2]

ORDERED that this Court's order entered June 7, 1999, insofar as it applies to respondents, is vacated, nunc pro tunc, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to restore respondents to the roll of attorneys in good standing, effective immediately.
