Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, 1940

In re Miller

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided December 13, 1940

260 A.D. 673; 23 N.Y.S.2d 902; 1940 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4689

Counsel

Samuel L. Lewis of counsel [Einar Chrystie, attorney], for the petitioner., John R. Davies of counsel, for the respondent.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The respondent was found guilty by an official referee of charges of faffing to account to his client for the latter’s share of a settlement in the sum of $200. The referee stated, however, that he beheved the respondent did not intend to defraud his client. In view of that and the additional fact that the respondent does not now dispute the findings of the referee but professes a keen realization of the gravity of his conduct, we are of opinion that a censure is sufficient punishment.

Present — Martin, P. J., O’Malley, Townley, Glennon and Untermyer, JJ.

Respondent censured.
