Matter of Zweibon

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 25, 1993
188 A.D.2d 65 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993)

Opinion

February 25, 1993

Richard M. Maltz of counsel (Hal R. Lieberman, attorney), for petitioner.

Patricia Ann Grant for respondent.


Respondent, Bertram Zweibon, was admitted to practice by this Court on November 24, 1954.

On July 23, 1992, respondent pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court, New York County, to one count of grand larceny in the second degree, a felony. Upon entry of said plea, respondent was automatically disbarred (Matter of Swirsky, 103 A.D.2d 195; Matter of David, 145 A.D.2d 150). Accordingly, the petition of the Departmental Disciplinary Committee seeking an order striking respondent's name from the roll of attorneys should be granted.

Respondent's requests, unsupported by precedent, to have this Court include in its disbarment order provisions deviating from the prescriptions and prohibitions set forth in section 90 (2) of the Judiciary Law and section 603.13 of this Court's rules (22 NYCRR), are denied.

CARRO, J.P., KUPFERMAN, ROSS, ASCH and RUBIN, JJ., concur.

Petition granted and respondent's name struck from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in the State of New York, effective immediately; and respondent's requests to have this Court include in its disbarment order provisions deviating from the prescriptions and prohibitions set forth in section 90 (2) of the Judiciary Law and section 603.13 of this Court's rules (22 NYCRR), are denied.
