OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.Scevia Storr Ellis has submitted an affidavit dated September 28, 2010, wherein she tenders her resignation as an attorney *69and counselor-at-law (see 22 NYCRR 691.9). Ms. Ellis was admitted to the bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on August 23, 1995.
Ms. Ellis avers that she is submitting her resignation freely and voluntarily with a full awareness of the implications of its submission, including being barred from seeking reinstatement for at least seven years. She also acknowledges that she is not being subjected to coercion or duress.
Ms. Ellis is aware that she is the subject of an investigation by the Queens County District Attorney’s office into allegations that she engaged in criminal facilitation in the fourth degree, a class A misdemeanor. She acknowledges that she could not defend herself on the merits against charges predicated upon those allegations. She submits her resignation subject to any application which could be made by the Grievance Committee for an order directing that she make restitution and that she reimburse the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection of the State of New York, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a). She acknowledges the continuing jurisdiction of the Court to make such an order. In addition, she expresses her awareness that any order issued pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a) could be entered as a civil judgment against her. She specifically waives the opportunity afforded by Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a) (f) to be heard in opposition thereto.
The Grievance Committee recommends that the resignation be accepted.
Inasmuch as the proffered resignation comports with the requirements of 22 NYCRR 691.9, it is accepted and, effective immediately, Ms. Ellis is disbarred, and her name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
