The Disciplinary Review Board having filed with the Court its decision in DRB 06-044, concluding that as a matter of reciprocal discipline pursuant to Rule 1:20-14, AVROHOM BECKER of NEW YORK, NEW YORK, who was admitted to the bar of this State in 1988, should be suspended from the practice of law for a period of three months based on discipline imposed in New York for conduct that reflects adversely on respondent’s honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer and that would constitute violation of RPC 8.4(c), (conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation) and RPC 8.4(d) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice);
