Sarah Diane McShea of counsel ( Michael A. Gentile, attorney), 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 pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (b).
Respondent was admitted to practice in the Second Department on March 30, 1960.
Respondent was suspended indefinitely as an attorney and counselor-at-law by order of this court entered August 18, 1983. He entered a guilty plea to the charge of grand larceny in the third degree (Penal Law § 155.30), a class E felony, in the Supreme Court, New York County, on March 15, 1985. Upon respondent's plea of guilty to the felony charge, he has been automatically disbarred (Judiciary Law § 90 [a]).
A certified copy of the disposition has been presented to this court (Judiciary Law § 90 [b]).
Accordingly, the petition should be granted and respondent's name stricken from the roll of attorneys. (Judiciary Law § 90 [b]; Matter of Cohen, 107 A.D.2d 189.)
