   OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

The fee of $250 payable upon the filing of a petition for reinstatement (22 NYCRR 603.14 flj) is waived, respondent making an adequate showing of hardship.

Murphy, P. J., Rosenberger, Ellerin, Wallach and Smith, JJ., concur.

Petition granted, fee waived, and respondent reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law in the State of New York, effective February 8, 1990.
