    In the Matter of Patrick J. Cannon, a Suspended Attorney, Respondent. Committee on Professional Standards, Petitioner.
    [774 NYS2d 449]
   Per Curiam.

Respondent was suspended from practice by this Court in June 2001 for a period of one year and until further order (Matter of Cannon, 284 AD2d 721 [2001]). He now applies for reinstatement. Petitioner advises that it does not oppose the application.

We conclude that respondent has substantially complied with the provisions of the order which suspended him and with this Court’s rules regulating the conduct of suspended attorneys (see 22 NYCRR 806.9). We are also satisfied that respondent has complied with the requirements of this Court’s rules governing reinstatement (see 22 NYCRR 806.12) and that he possesses the 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.

Mercure, J.R, Peters, Spain, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur. Ordered that respondent’s application is granted and he is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law of the State of New York, effective immediately.
