Opinion
282 A.D. 266 123 N.Y.S.2d 761 In the Matter of HAROLD LAWRENCE KAPILOFF (Admitted as HARRY L. KAPILOFF, Also Known as HARRY LAWRENCE KAPILOFF), 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 October 30, 1934, at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department.
COUNSEL
George S. Hunter, Jr., of counsel (Frank H. Gordon, attorney), for petitioner.
No one appearing for respondent.
Per Curiam.
Though there were two serious charges made against respondent, involving misappropriation, misrepresentation and other grievous misdeeds, he neither answered the petition herein nor did he appear at any of the hearings before the Referee to explain his conduct.
The Referee has found that respondent's guilt on each of the two charges of professional misconduct has been clearly proved and established and that they have been aggravated by the respondent's claimed use of part of the funds misappropriated to bribe public officials. The record fully supports the Referee's findings.
The report of the Referee should be confirmed and respondent should be disbarred.
PECK, P. J., GLENNON, COHN, CALLAHAN and BREITEL, JJ., concur.
Respondent disbarred.
