In re Vourderis

*228OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

On May 3, 2007, the respondent appeared in the Supreme Court, Richmond County, before Justice Leonard P. Rienzi and pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the second degree, under Penal Law § 155.40 (1), a class C felony, and the practice of law by an attorney who has been disbarred, suspended, or convicted of a felony, under Judiciary Law § 486, a class A misdemeanor.

The Grievance Committee moves to strike the respondent’s name from the roll of attorneys based upon his felony conviction pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4).

By virtue of his felony conviction, the respondent ceased to be an attorney and counselor-at-law pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (a) and was automatically disbarred.

Accordingly, the Grievance Committee’s motion to strike the respondent’s name from the roll of attorneys is granted, without opposition.

Prudenti, P.J., Miller, Schmidt, Crane and Balkin, JJ., concur.

Ordered that pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90, effective immediately, the respondent, Dennis Emil Vourderis, is disbarred, and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law; and it is further,
