Opinion
282 A.D. 264 122 N.Y.S.2d 881 In the Matter of EDWARD T. TIGHE, an Attorney, Respondent. ASSOCIATION OF THE BAR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Petitioner.
Supreme Court of New York, First Department. July 7, 1953
DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS instituted by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. Respondent was admitted to the Bar February 14, 1928, at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department.
COUNSEL
Frank H. Gordon for petitioner.
Edward T. Tighe, respondent in person.
Per Curiam.
Respondent is charged with issuing two checks that were returned for insufficient funds. As respondent has admitted the charge, there is no need of a reference. In view of the fact that respondent promptly paid in full the amounts that were due; that there is no loss involved as is admitted by the person to whom the sums were due; and because of respondent's excellent past record, and his frankness and complete co-operation with the grievance committee, we think under the extenuating and mitigating circumstances disclosed, that censure is sufficient ( Matter of Diamond, 279 A.D. 7).
DORE, J. P., COHN, CALLAHAN, BREITEL and BERGAN, JJ., concur.
Respondent censured.
