Description
[1 N.Y.2d 144 Page 146] On June 22, 1948, respondent, an attorney, was convicted in the County Court of Queens County of the crime of grand larceny
in the first degree and was sentenced to a term of imprisonment. Subdivision 4 of section 90 of the Judiciary Law provides
that "Any person being an attorney and counselor-at-law, who shall be convicted of a felony, shall, upon such conviction,
cease to be an attorney and counselor-at-law, or to be competent to practice law as such." The unmistakable meaning of those
clear words is that after June 22, 1948, respondent was no longer a member of the Bar and no longer competent to practice
as such. Such difficulty as we have here results from two later occurring facts: first, that no one saw to it that respondent's
name was stricken from the roll of attorneys (see Judiciary Law, 90, subd. 4, supra); and, second, that on December 20,
1948, respondent's conviction was reversed and a new trial ordered (on questions of law only, with the facts affirmed; see
274 App. Div. 1007). He has not been retried.
