112 Ohio St.3d 1204, 2006-Ohio-6715.] 
(No. 2005-0367 — Submitted November 10, 2006 — Decided 
November 17, 2006.) 
ON APPLICATION FOR REINSTATEMENT. 
__________________ 
{¶ 1} This cause came on for further consideration upon the filing of an 
application for reinstatement by respondent, Charles Blaise Lazzaro, Attorney 
Registration No. 0022281, last known business address in Mayfield Heights, 
Ohio. 
{¶ 2} On October 14, 2005, the court, pursuant to Gov.Bar R. 
V(6)(B)(3), suspended respondent for a period of two years, with the second year 
stayed on the conditions that respondent (1) abstain completely from the use of 
any illegal drugs, (2) comply with all terms of his criminal probation, and (3) 
enter a two-year contract with the Ohio Lawyers Assistance Program and 
complete all the terms of that contract.  The court coming now to consider the 
October 14, 2005, order 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 if respondent fails to 
comply with the above conditions during the stayed portion of his suspension, the 
stay will be revoked and respondent will be ordered to serve the stayed portion of 
his suspension as a period of actual 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 made
