IN RE ANONYMOUS

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department.
Jul 5, 2007

Per Curiam.

After holding a hearing on the application, the Committee on Character and Fitness issued a decision recommending that applicant be denied admission. Applicant now petitions this Court for an order granting his application for admission notwithstanding the Committee's decision ( see 22 NYCRR 805.1 [m]).

We deny the petition. Our review of the record indicates that the Committee fully and reasonably assessed applicant's character and fitness before disapproving his application for admission. The character and fitness concerns raised by the application include allegations of domestic violence and threats against judges resulting in applicant's criminal conviction. Under all the circumstances, we are not satisfied that applicant possesses the character and general fitness requisite for an attorney and counselor-at-law ( see Judiciary Law ยง 90 [a]).

Ordered that the petition is denied.
