Michael A. Gentile for petitioner.
No appearance on behalf of respondent.
The Departmental Disciplinary Committee for the First Department has moved to strike respondent's name from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (b).
Respondent was admitted to practice in the Second Department on October 17, 1962.
Respondent was convicted, after a jury trial, in the Supreme Court, Westchester County (Lawrence Martin, J.), on October 2, 1986 of one count of offering a false instrument for filing in the first degree (Penal Law § 175.35), a class E felony, and two counts of perjury in the first degree (Penal Law § 210.15), a class D felony.
A certified copy of the disposition has been presented to this court. (Judiciary Law § 90 [b].) Upon his conviction, respondent ceased to be an attorney or counselor-at-law. (Judiciary Law § 90 [a].)
Accordingly, the petition should be granted and respondent's name stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
