Gilmore of Toms River, who was admitted to the bar of this State in 1975 and who has been temporarily suspended from the practice of law since May 15, 2019, pursuant to the Order of the Court filed in accordance with Rule 1:20-13 (b) (1), seeking to vacate the Order of temporary suspension (M-729-20) and to be reinstated to practice pursuant to Rule 1:20-13 (b) (3) (M-730-20);
And good cause appearing;

See In re Petition for Expungement of the Criminal Record Belonging to T.O., 244 N.J. 514, 536, 242 A.3d 842 (2021) (noting that "a pardon removes the legal disabilities that stem from the fact of a conviction but does not erase what happened when an offense was committed or restore a person's good character").
