PER CURIAM.
Respondent was admitted to practice by this Court in 1994. She maintained an office for the practice of law in Virginia.
By order dated June 19, 2008, this Court suspended respondent for a period of two years ( Matter of Calonge, 52 A.D.3d 1111, 859 N.Y.S.2d 536 [2008] ). She now applies for reinstatement. Petitioner advises 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 rules 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.
