ORDER OF REINSTATEMENT
Issued by Attorney Discipline Board 333 W. Fort St., Detroit, Michigan 48226
On August 6, 2020, Tri-County Hearing Panel #69 entered an order of suspension and restitution with condition that suspended respondent’s license to practice law in Michigan for 90 days, effective August 28, 2020. Respondent filed a timely petition for review and petition for stay, which resulted in an automatic stay of the hearing panel's August 6, 2020 order in accordance with MCR 9.115(K). After review proceedings held in accordance with MCR 9.118, the Board issued an order on April 27, 2021, that affirmed the hearing panel’s order of suspension and restitution with condition in its entirety, and ordered additional restitution. On May 25, 2021, respondent filed a motion for reconsideration which resulted in an automatic stay of the Board’s order, pursuant to MCR 9.118(E). On August 24, 2021, the Board issued an order denying respondent’s motion for reconsideration. As a result, the Board’s order of suspension and restitution with condition and ordering additional restitution became effective on September 22, 2021.
On December 29, 2021, respondent, Gary D. Nitzkin, submitted an affidavit pursuant to MCR 9.123(A), stating that he has fully complied with all requirements of the Board’s order.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that respondent, Gary D. Nitzkin, is REINSTATED to the practice of law in Michigan effective January 6, 2022.
