In the Matter of Robert Levy,

a disbarred attorney.

(Attorney Registration No. 2075257)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION
FOR REINSTATEMENT

Motion by the respondent for reinstatement as an attorney and counselor-at-law. The respondent was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on July 31, 1985. By opinion and order of this court dated May 1, 1995, he was disbarred upon his conviction of a felony. By decision and order of this court dated March 25, 2002, the respondent's first motion for reinstatement was denied as premature. By decision and order of this court dated May 30, 2003, his second motion for reinstatement was denied, based on this court's finding that he did not demonstrate the requisite fitness and character to practice law. By decision and order on motion of this court dated November 5, 2004, the instant motion was referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on the respondent's current fitness to be an attorney, including, but not limited to, the respondent's filing, if any, with this court of his affidavit of compliance, the notification sent to his clients regarding his disbarment, whether his work subsequent to his disbarment involved the practice of law, a letter from each of his employers subsequent to his disbarment, and information regarding the settlement fees reported on his income tax returns, and the motion was held in abeyance in the interim.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in relation thereto, including the report of the Committee on Character and Fitness, it is

ORDERED that the motion is granted; and it is further,

ORDERED that effective immediately, the respondent Robert Levy is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law and the Clerk of the court is directed to restore the name of Robert Levy to the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
