In the Matter of Larry Hallock, a suspended attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 2480424)
| DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION FOR REINSTATEMENT |
Motion by Larry Hallock for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law. Hallock was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on May 20, 1992. By opinion and order of this Court dated February 13, 2020, Hallock was suspended from the practice of law for a period of one year, effective March 16, 2020. By order dated July 21, 2021, Hallock's motion for reinstatement was held in abeyance, and the matter was referred to a Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on his character and fitness to practice law. By opinion of the Court of Appeals dated December 14, 2021, the opinion and order of this Court dated February 13, 2020, was reversed and the matter was remitted to this Court for further proceedings in accordance with its determination. Upon remittitur, by opinion and order dated June 29, 2022, this Court concluded that reciprocal discipline was warranted and suspended the respondent from the practice of law for a period of one year, nunc pro tunc to March 16, 2020 (see Matter of Hallock, 207 AD3d 90). By decision and order on motion dated June 29, 2022, this Court's decision and order on motion dated July 21, 2021, was recalled and vacated, and the motion for reinstatement was held in abeyance, and the matter was referred to a Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on Hallock's character and fitness to practice law.
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 Larry Hallock does not demonstrate the requisite character and fitness to practice law.
LASALLE, P.J., DILLON, DUFFY, BARROS and CONNOLLY, JJ., concur.
