IN RE: Andrew TOSCANO (2023)

DECISION & ORDER ON MOTION FOR REINSTATEMENT

Motion by Andrew Toscano for reinstatement to the Bar as an attorney and counselor-at-law. Toscano was admitted to the Bar in the State of New York at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on April 13, 1994. By opinion and order of this Court dated April 11, 2005, Toscano was disbarred effective immediately, and his name was stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law (see Matter of Toscano, 17 A.D.3d 72, 793 N.Y.S.2d 106). By decision and order on motion of this Court dated February 25, 2013, Toscano's first motion for reinstatement was denied. By decision and order on motion of this Court dated December 28, 2020, Toscano's second motion for reinstatement was held in abeyance and the matter was referred to a 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 on condition that on or before July 10, 2023, Andrew Toscano file with the Clerk of the Court proof of(1) payment for the current registration period, and (2) his completion of 24 credit hours of continuing legal education accredited in accordance with 22 NYCRR Part 1500 (see 22 NYCRR 691.11[a]); and it is further,

ORDERED that upon receipt of proof, as directed above, the Clerk of the Court shall restore the name of Andrew Toscano to the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, and Andrew Toscano shall be reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law.
