Per Curiam.

      Respondent, who was admitted to practice by this Court in

has complied with the attorney registration requirements of
Judiciary Law § 468-a and the Rules of the Chief Administrator of
the Courts (see 22 NYCRR part 118). Petitioner does not object

      Respondent's application is granted and he is ordered
reinstated, effective immediately.

     Garry, J.P., Egan Jr., Rose and Lynch, JJ., concur.

further

      ORDERED that respondent is reinstated as an attorney and
