June 9, 2011.
Respondent was admitted to practice by this Court in 1994. She resides in the Town of East Hampton, Suffolk County.
Peter M. Torncello, Committee on Professional Standards, Albany (Elizabeth M. Devane of counsel), for petitioner.
Marie Elena Klarman, East Hampton, respondent pro se.
Before: Peters J.P., Spain, Rose, Malone Jr. and Garry, JJ.
By decision dated October 20, 2005, this Court suspended respondent from the practice of law for a period to expire June 1, 2006 ( Matter of Klarman, 22 AD3d 953). She now applies for reinstatement. Petitioner advises that it does not oppose the application.
Our examination of the papers submitted on the application indicates that respondent has complied with the provisions of the order of suspension and with this Court's rules regarding 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 rule regarding reinstatement ( see 22 NYCRR 806.12 [b]), and that she possesses the character and general fitness to resume the practice of law.
Accordingly, the application is granted and respondent is reinstated to the practice of law, effective immediately.
Ordered that respondent's application is granted; and it is further ordered that respondent is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law in the State of New York, effective immediately.
