Mr. Marks was admitted to the bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on September 18, 1985. By decision and order on application of this Court dated January 28, 2000, the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District was authorized to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against Mr. Marks and the issues were referred to the Honorable Patricia D.
