PER CURIAM.

It is ordered that the application for admission be and hereby is denied. Petitioner may not re-apply for admission until he has successfully completed a recommended ninety-day inpatient treatment program and has executed a recovery agreement as recommended by the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program,

ADMISSION DENIED.

KNOLL, J.,

additionally concurring.

hln light of petitioner’s failure to comply with the recommendation of the Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (“JLAP”) to obtain • appropriate inpatient substance treatment, I concur in the denial of admission at this time. I acknowledge petitioner’s financial circumstances may impact his ability to enter treatment; however, it is my understanding JLAP can provide lower cost treatment options, to applicants of limited means. I strongly encourage petitioner to work with JLAP to avail himself of such options for inpatient substance abuse treatment prior to making any reapplication for admission to the bar.
