ON APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT. 
__________________ 
{¶ 1} This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an 
application for reinstatement by respondent, Lawrence Frederick Peskin, Attorney 
Registration No. 0059391, last known business address in Cleveland, Ohio. 
{¶ 2} The court coming now to consider its order of April 29, 2010, 
wherein the court, pursuant to Gov.Bar R. V(6)(B)(3), suspended respondent for a 
period of two years with 18 months stayed on conditions, finds that respondent 
has substantially complied with that order and with the provisions of Gov.Bar R. 
V(10)(A).  Therefore, 
{¶ 3} It is ordered by this court that respondent is reinstated to the 
practice of law in the state of Ohio.  It is further ordered that respondent submit, 
within one year of the release of the April 29, 2010 Supreme Court opinion in this 
matter, a qualified health-care professional’s certification that he has successfully 
completed a substance abuse treatment program and is, in that professional’s 
opinion to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, able to practice law in a 
competent, ethical, and professional manner.  It is further ordered that if 
respondent fails to do this, the stay will be lifted, and he will serve the full two-
year suspension. 
{¶ 4} It is further ordered that the Clerk of this court issue certified 
copies of this order as provided for in Gov.Bar R. V(8)(D)(1), that publication be
