2011-06326 In the Matter of Michael Sprei, a disbarred attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 4170817)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION FOR REINSTATEMENT

Motion by Michael Sprei for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law. Sprei was admitted to the Bar in the State of New York at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on November 19, 2003. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated January 6, 2012, inter alia, pursuant to former 22 NYCRR 691.4, Sprei was suspended from the practice of law pending determination of the disciplinary proceeding against him. By opinion and order of this Court dated January 30, 2013, as amended April 26, 2013, and April 30, 2013, Sprei was disbarred, effective immediately, upon his resignation, and his name was stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law (see Matter of Sprei, 104 AD3d 140). By decision and order on motion of this Court dated December 11, 2020, Sprei's first motion for reinstatement was denied.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in relation thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion is denied.

We find that Michael Sprei does not demonstrate the requisite character and fitness to practice law.

LASALLE, P.J., DILLON, BARROS, CONNOLLY, and BRATHWAITE NELSON, JJ., concur.
