Holding The court granted the Attorney Grievance Committee’s motion for reciprocal discipline and disbarred the respondent, who had previously been disbarred in California for defaulting in disciplinary proceedings. The court found that the respondent’s failure to comply with disciplinary probation and maintain a current address constituted professional misconduct in New York.
The court’s words
Disbarment is therefore warranted and consistent with this Court’s precedent imposing that sanction where an attorney defaults in a disciplinary proceeding and fails to cooperate with disciplinary authorities
