34 A.D.2d 63 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1970
Respondent was admitted to practice by the Appellate Division of the Second Judicial Department in December, 1940. This proceeding was duly instituted by notice and petition by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York and, although the respondent did not appear or answer herein, the proceeding was referred to a Referee for the taking of evidence and the rendering of a report. The Referee has found that all the charges as alleged in the petition were duly established and has so reported. Petitioner’s motion to confirm the Referee’s report should be in all respects granted.
Unquestionably, the charges as established represent most serious professional misconduct and indicate such a disregard for the standards required for members of the Bar that the respondent should be disbarred and it is so directed. (See Matter of McGarl, 33 A D 2d 223; Matter of Whitaker, 30 A D 2d 162; Matter of Leyton, 30 AD 2d 152; Matter of Turk, 25 A D 2d 255.)
Stevens, P. J., Eager, McGivern, Nunez and McNally, JJ., concur.
Respondent disbarred, effective May 7,1970.
