Respondent was admitted to practice by this Court in 1989 and maintains an office for the practice of law in the City of Schenectady, Schenectady County.
By decision dated June 6, 2003, this Court found respondent guilty of professional misconduct and censured him (Matter of Dixon, 306 AD2d 618 [2003]). The decision further directed respondent to comply with the attorney registration requirements (see Judiciary Law § 468-a; 22 NYCRR part 118) within 30 days and to make a refund to a client within 90 days. Further, the decision directed petitioner to move for respondent’s immediate suspension from practice in the event that respondent failed to comply with the ordered payments.
Respondent failed to timely comply with the attorney registration requirements and petitioner moved for his suspension from practice. Respondent subsequently registered and paid the delinquent fees, and he now moves for an extension of time to make the refund to his client, citing financial problems.
We find that respondent has not fully complied with this Court’s disciplinary decision and order and we conclude, in the event that he has not done so within 30 days, that he should be suspended from practice until such time as he complies.
Cardona, P.J., Spain, Carpinello, Rose and Kane, JJ., concur.
