Respondent was admitted to practice by this Court in 1986. He maintained an office for the practice of law in New Jersey where he was admitted in 1980.
On May 4, 2009 in Supreme Court, New York County, respondent entered guilty pleas to two counts of conspiracy in the fifth degree in violation of Penal Law § 105.05 (1), serious crimes as defined by Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (d). The convictions require respondent’s suspension until such time as a final disciplinary order is made pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (g) (see Judiciary Law § 90 [4] [f]).
We therefore grant petitioner’s instant motion and direct respondent’s suspension from the practice of law, effective immediately, until such time as a final order of discipline is entered.
