Opinion


279 A.D. 7 106 N.Y.S.2d 919 In the Matter of JACOB L. DIAMOND, an Attorney, Respondent. ASSOCIATION OF THE BAR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, Petitioner.

Supreme Court of New York, First Department. October 2, 1951

         DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS instituted by the Association of the Bar of the City of New York. Respondent was admitted to the Bar June 7, 1909, at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department.

         COUNSEL

          Frank H. Gordon for petitioner.

          Joseph L. Greenberg for respondent.

          Per Curiam.

          Respondent admits that he improperly commingled funds of a client with his own funds. However, all money has now been properly accounted for by respondent who has been frank in his statements to the Grievance Committee of the Bar Association. The facts not being in dispute, there is no need of a reference of this matter. The court is of opinion that, in view of mitigating circumstances, a censure will be sufficient punishment.

          The respondent should be censured.

          PECK, P. J., GLENNON, DORE, COHN and SHIENTAG, JJ., concur.

          Respondent censured.
