Mr. Martin was admitted to the Bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on February 10, 1999, under the name Desmond Quinby Martin. By opinion and order of this Court dated September 6, 2005, Mr. Martin was disbarred upon his resignation, and his name was stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, effective immediately (see Matter of Martin, 22 AD3d 68).

By decision and order on motion of this Court dated July 5, 2018, Mr. Martin's third motion for reinstatement was held in abeyance and the matter was referred to the Committee on Character and Fitness to investigate and report on Mr. Martin's character and fitness to practice law.
Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in relation thereto, and upon the report of the Committee on Character and Fitness and the exhibits annexed thereto, it is
ORDERED that the motion is granted; and it is further,
ORDERED that, effective immediately, Desmond Quinby Martin is reinstated as an attorney and counselor-at-law, and the Clerk of the Court is directed to restore the name of Desmond Quinby Martin to the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
