OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.On August 12, 2010, the respondent pleaded guilty before the *188Honorable Bonnie Wittner, in Supreme Court, New York County, to attempted grand larceny in the second degree, in violation of Penal Law §§ 110.00 and 155.40, a class D felony. On December 21, 2010, the respondent was sentenced to five years’ probation, and directed to pay a $300 surcharge, a $50 DNA fee, and a $25 crime victim assessment fee, with an order of protection and other conditions. As revealed in the plea minutes, between the period from approximately June 20, 2008 through August 21, 2008, the respondent and another, acting together, attempted to extort in excess of $10 million from David Blitzer, the respondent’s son-in-law.
Although served with a copy of this motion, the respondent has neither submitted a response nor requested additional time in which to do so.
By virtue of his felony conviction, the respondent was automatically disbarred and ceased to be an attorney pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (a).
Accordingly, the motion to strike the respondent’s name from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (b), is granted, to reflect the respondent’s automatic disbarment on August 12, 2010.
