In re Von Wiegen , 746 N.Y.2d 847 ( 2002 )

—Per Curiam.

Because we conclude that respondent has not shown by clear and convincing evidence that he possesses the character and general fitness to resume the practice of law {see 22 NYCRR 806.12 [b]), we deny the application for reinstatement.

Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Peters, Spain and Carpinello, JJ., concur. Ordered that respondent’s application for reinstatement is denied.
