By court
Appellate Division, First Department
- Matter of Meyerowitz252 AD3d 176
The court accepted the respondent’s voluntary resignation from the bar, effectively disbarbing him, because his affidavit conformed to disciplinary rules and he had made full restitution to his clients. The court noted that accepting such resignations is consistent with prior precedent when restitution has been made.
- Matter of McMurdo252 AD3d 172
The court granted the joint motion for discipline by consent and suspended respondent from the practice of law for one year, effective nunc pro tunc to September 20, 2024. The court found that a one-year suspension was appropriate given respondent’s violations of professional conduct rules related to issuing false opinion letters and his voluntary cessation of practice.
