In the Matter of Attorneys in Violation of Judiciary Law § 468-a. Committee on Professional Standards, Petitioner; Donna J. Vellekamp, Respondent.

—[*1] Mark S. Ochs, Committee on Professional Standards, Albany (Michael Philip, Jr., of counsel), for petitioner.

Donna J. Vellekamp, New Jersey, respondent pro se.

Per Curiam. Respondent, who was admitted to practice by this Court in 1988, was suspended by this Court's order dated June 7, 1999 for failure to comply with the attorney registration requirements of Judiciary Law § 468-a (262 AD2d 702 [1999]).

Respondent now requests reinstatement on the ground that she has complied with the attorney registration requirements of Judiciary Law § 468-a and the rules of the Chief Administrator of the Courts (see 22 NYCRR part 118). Petitioner does not object to respondent's application.

Respondent's application is granted and she is ordered reinstated, effective immediately.

Mercure, J.P., Spain, Carpinello, Rose and Stein, JJ., concur. Ordered that respondent's application is granted; and it is further ordered that respondent is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law in the State of New York, effective immediately.
