DECISION & ORDER
Motion by Alvin Pasternak for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law. Mr. Pasternak was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on May 6, 1981. By opinion and order of this Court dated December 17, 2010, Mr. Pasternak was disbarred, effective July 26, 2010, based on his conviction of a federal felony, and his name was stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law (see Matter of Pasternak, 80 AD3d 214). By decision and order on motion of this Court dated February 1, 2018, Mr. Pasternak's motion for reinstatement was held in abeyance and the matter was referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on his character and fitness to practice law.
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, Alvin Pasternak is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to restore the name of Alvin Pasternak to the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
