OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.*87By decision and order of this Court dated April 13, 2004, the respondent was suspended from the practice of law, pursuant to 22 NYCRR 691.4 (l) (1) (i), upon a finding that she was guilty of professional misconduct immediately threatening the public interest based upon her failure to cooperate with the Grievance Committee. In that decision and order, the Grievance Committee was authorized to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against the respondent and the issues were referred to the Honorable Thomas R. Sullivan, as Special Referee, to hear and report. Within 30 days of its receipt of a copy of that decision and order, the Grievance Committee was directed to serve a petition upon the respondent and the Special Referee, and to file a copy with the Court. The respondent was directed to serve an answer to the petition upon the Grievance Committee and the Special Referee, and to file it with the Court within 10 days of her receipt of the petition. The Grievance Committee now moves for an order against the respondent upon her default in answering the petition.
A petition containing one charge predicated upon the respondent’s failure to cooperate was personally served upon her on May 5, 2004. To date, the respondent has failed to serve a copy of her answer to the petition on the Grievance Committee or the Special Referee, or to file it with the Court, notwithstanding the directive in this Court’s decision and order dated April 13, 2004, that she was to do so within 10 days after service upon her of the petition. Nor has she requested an extension of time in which to do so.
Although the respondent was served by personal service on June 1, 2004, with a copy of the Grievance Committee’s motion to disbar her upon her default, she has failed to serve any response.
Accordingly, the motion is granted, the charge in the petition is deemed established, the respondent is disbarred on default, and, effective immediately, her name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
