IN RE: Leonard W. KROUNER, an Attorney. Committee on Professional Standards, Now Known as Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Petitioner; v. Leonard W. Krouner, Respondent. (Attorney Registration No. 1501154)
DECISION AND ORDER ON MOTION
Respondent was admitted to practice by this Court in 1973 and previously maintained an office for the practice of law in the City of Albany. By May 2003 order, we struck respondent's name from the roll of attorneys due to his automatic disbarment after he pleaded guilty to three felonies in Albany County (305 A.D.2d 932, 759 N.Y.S.2d 402 [3d Dept. 2003]). Following three unsuccessful attempts at reinstatement (see 150 A.D.3d 1466, 51 N.Y.S.3d 910 [3d Dept. 2017]; 114 A.D.3d 993, 979 N.Y.S.2d 857 [3d Dept. 2014]; 84 A.D.3d 1585, 922 N.Y.S.2d 816 [3d Dept. 2011]), we ultimately granted respondent's fourth such application and reinstated him subject to certain conditions by June 13, 2019 order (173 A.D.3d 1428, 102 N.Y.S.3d 791 [3d Dept. 2019]). Pursuant to the dictates of that order, respondent now moves for termination of the conditions attendant to his reinstatement to the practice of law. Petitioner has been heard in response and does not oppose respondent's motion.
Upon respondent's motion, and upon examination of the papers submitted, we conclude that, under the circumstances presented, it is
ORDERED that respondent's motion is granted; and it is further
ORDERED that the conditions attendant to respondent's reinstatement set forth in the third decretal paragraph of this Court's June 13, 2019 Memorandum and Order on Motion are hereby terminated.
Garry, P.J., Clark, Aarons, Pritzker and McShan, JJ., concur.
