September 25, 1998
Because we conclude that respondent has not shown by clear and convincing evidence that he possesses the character and general fitness to resume the practice of law ( see, 22 NYCRR 806.12 [b]), We deny the application for reinstatement.
Mikoll, J.P., Crew III, White, Yesawich Jr. and Graffeo, JJ., concur.
