[1] ORDER
[2] On January 5, 1995, John Quattrocchi, III was suspended from the practice of law during the pendency of his appeal from a judgment of conviction entered by the Superior Court pursuant to a jury verdict finding him guilty of two counts of first-degree sexual assault in violation of G.L. 1956 § 11-37-2, as amended by P.L. 1981, ch. 119, § 1, and § 11-37-3. On July 31, 1996, the judgment of conviction was vacated by this Court. Statev. Quattrocchi, (slip op. July 31, 1996 at 18.)
[3] On August 15, 1996, Quattrocchi filed a Petition for Reinstatement pursuant to Article III, Rule 12 (e) of the Supreme Court Rules of Disciplinary Procedure. That rule provides, in pertinent part:
