OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.The Grievance Committee for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial Districts moves to adjudicate the respondent in default with respect to a petition dated January 14, 2013.
The petition contains a single charge, alleging that the respondent failed to cooperate with the Grievance Committee, inasmuch as he failed to submit an answer to a complaint of professional misconduct filed against him by Laurice Mann.
On June 20, 2013, the respondent was personally served with a copy of this Court’s decision and order on motion dated April 26, 2013, immediately suspending him pursuant to 22 NYCRR 691.4 (1) (1) (i) and authorizing the Grievance Committee to institute and prosecute a disciplinary proceeding against the respondent based on the allegations in the petition dated January 14, 2013. To date, the respondent has failed to serve an answer to either petition or request additional time in which to do so.
On September 16, 2013, a copy of the Grievance Committee’s motion to hold the respondent in default was personally delivered to the respondent, and copies were mailed to him by regular and certified mail.
To date, the respondent has neither responded to the motion nor requested additional time in which to do so.
Accordingly, the Grievance Committee’s motion is granted, the charge is deemed established, and, effective immediately, the respondent is disbarred upon his default, and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law. We note that, in an opinion and order in a related disciplinary proceeding commenced against the respondent, this Court granted the Grievance Committee’s motion to hold the respondent in default with respect to a petition dated March 12, 2013, based on allegations that he converted funds entrusted to him in connection with a real estate transaction, and disbarred the *116respondent effective immediately (see Matter of McDowell, 120 AD3d 117 [2014] [decided herewith]).
