Mr. Vitelli was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department on January 17, 1983, under the name Peter Louis Vitelli.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in relation thereto, and upon the report of the Committee on Character and Fitness and the exhibits annexed thereto, it is
ORDERED that the motion is granted; and it is further,
ORDERED that, effective immediately, Peter Louis Vitelli is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to restore the name of Peter Louis Vitelli to the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
