The Court having considered the favorable recommendations of the State Board of Law Examiners and the Character Committee for the Sixth Judicial Circuit; and
The Court, at a hearing held on October 4, 1983, having heard and considered the petitioner's arguments in support of the recommendations of the State Board and the Character Committee; and
The Court finding that the felony offense of which the petitioner was convicted, namely, attempted armed robbery of a bank in violation of 18 U.S.C. 2113(d) (), to be a criminal transgression of a most serious nature, exceeding that involved in In Re Application of G.L.S., 292 Md. 378, 439 A.2d 1107 (1982), and thus requiring full and complete evidence of rehabilitation sufficient to clearly demonstrate the existence of present good moral character fitness for admission to the Bar of Maryland; and The Court finding that the rehabilitative period following petitioner's release from prison in 1977 to be of insufficient duration, considering the gravity of the offense committed, to permit establishment of the requisite moral character fitness prerequisite to admission to the Bar of Maryland.

ORDERED that the recommendation of the State Board of Law Examiners that petitioner be admitted to the Bar of Maryland be, and it is hereby, DENIED.
