ORDER ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM.
This matter is before the division on respondent’s petition for rehearing. Respondent challenges, inter alia, the court’s imposition of a requirement of proof of rehabilitation as a condition of reinstatement in conjunction with a period of suspension of less than one year. Respondent argues that the court’s sanction offends due process in that it is a retroactive application of a sanction that was not available at the time of respondent’s sanctioned conduct, and as to which he was not given an opportunity to be heard. His argument is unpersuasive. Respondent was heard fully on the issue of whether he should be required to establish proof of rehabilitation before being allowed to resume the practice of law. The division concluded that he should be required to do so. Respondent was benefited rather than prejudiced by the application of the amended rule. Accordingly, it is
*731ORDERED that the respondent’s petition be, and it hereby is, denied.
