Matter of Sanchez

Holding The court imposed reciprocal public censure on the respondent for professional misconduct, including failure to attend oral arguments and filing frivolous briefs, based on a prior public reprimand by the Second Circuit. The court determined that the foreign jurisdiction’s sanction was not inconsistent with New York standards and thus warranted the same level of discipline.
