    In the Matter of Donald I. Orseck, a Suspended Attorney, Respondent. Committee on Professional Standards, Petitioner.
    [722 NYS2d 920]
   Per Curiam.

Respondent was suspended from practice for a period of 18 months (see, Matter of Orseck, 262 AD2d 862) and now applies for reinstatement.

Our examination of the papers submitted on this application indicates that respondent has complied with the provisions of the order which suspended him and with this Court’s rule regarding the conduct of suspended attorneys (see, 22 NYCRR 806.9). We are also satisfied that he has complied with the requirements of this Court’s rule regarding reinstatement (see, 22 NYCRR 806.12) and that he possesses the requisite character and fitness to resume the practice of law.

Accordingly, the application is granted, and respondent is reinstated to the practice of law, effective immediately.

Crew III, J. P., Spain, Carpinello and Rose, JJ., concur. Ordered that respondent’s application is granted and he is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law in the State of New York, effective immediately.
