OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.The Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District (hereinafter the Grievance Committee) served the respondent with a petition containing one charge of professional misconduct against him. After a hearing, the Special Referee sustained the charge. The Grievance Committee now moves to confirm the Special Referee’s report. The respondent’s counsel has submitted an affirmation joining in the motion to confirm the Special Referee’s findings in full and asking the Court to take into consideration all of the evidence presented in mitigation.
Charge One alleged that the respondent has been convicted of a crime.
On or about June 27, 1997, the respondent pleaded guilty in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, before the Honorable Judge Joanna Seybert, to one count of attempting to evade or defeat tax, in violation of 26 USC § 7201. The respondent was sentenced on or about October 16, 1997 to a term of incarceration of one month, supervised release for three years, home detention for three months subject to electronic monitoring by the Probation Department, and a fine of $5,050.
Based upon the uncontroverted fact of the respondent’s conviction and his admissions, the Special Referee properly sustained the charge. The Grievance Committee’s motion to confirm, which is supported by the respondent, is granted.
In determining an appropriate measure of discipline to impose, we have considered that the respondent has accepted full responsibility for his actions and made restitution, that he continues to express remorse for the harm caused to his family and to the reputation of the legal profession, that his record is previously unblemished, and that, as stipulated to at the hearing, he fully cooperated with the Grievance Committee’s investigation. To date, the respondent has met all of the conditions of his sentence. The respondent has also submitted favorable character evidence from individuals he has represented as well as other professionals personally familiar with him.
*105Notwithstanding the mitigation offered by the respondent, the plea minutes reflect that the respondent failed to report approximately $48,000 in income for the tax year 1992, resulting in a tax loss of approximately $12,000. Under the totality of circumstances, the respondent is suspended for one year.
