Robert H. Straus for petitioner.
Kathleen Paolo, respondent pro se.
The respondent was admitted to practice by this court on March 15, 1978, under the name Kathleen Marcel Paolo.
On August 28, 1986, the respondent was convicted after a jury trial in the Supreme Court, New York County, of grand larceny in the second degree (Penal Law former § 155.35, a class D felony), and conspiracy in the fifth degree (Penal Law § 105.05, a class A misdemeanor).
Pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4), upon her conviction of a felony, the respondent ceased to be an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State.
Accordingly, the petitioner's motion is granted. The respondent is disbarred and it is directed that the respondent's name be stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law forthwith.
