PER CURIAM.
Respondent was admitted to practice by this Court in 1987. She maintained an office for the practice of law in the Village of Sharon Springs, Schoharie County.
By decision dated February 17, 2011, this Court vacated respondent's stayed suspension and suspended her until June 17, 2011 ( Matter of Reul, 81 A.D.3d 1158, 917 N.Y.S.2d 349 [2011] ). 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*732 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.
PETERS, J.P., SPAIN, ROSE, MALONE JR. and STEIN, JJ., concur.
