Mr. Moringiello was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on February 16, 1977, under the name Lawrence Daniel Moringiello. By opinion and order of this Court dated May 2, 1994, Mr. Moringiello was disbarred upon his resignation and his name was stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law (see Matter of Moringiello, 197 AD2d 174).

By decision and order on motion of this Court dated March 4, 2015, Mr. Moringiello's second motion for reinstatement was held in abeyance and the matter was referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on Mr. Moringiello's character and general 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, Lawrence Daniel Moringiello is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to restore the name of Lawrence Daniel Moringiello to the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
