In re Diamond
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided October 2, 1951
279 A.D. 7; 106 N.Y.S.2d 919; 1951 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2844

Counsel

Frank E. Gordon for petitioner., Joseph L. Greenberg for respondent.

In re Diamond

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Respondent admits that he improperly commingled funds of a client with his own funds. However, all money has now been properly accounted for by respondent who has been frank in his statements to the G-rievance Committee of the Bar Association. The facts not being in dispute, there is no need of a reference of this matter. The court is of opinion that, in view of mitigating circumstances, a censure will be sufficient punishment.

The respondent should be censured.

Peck, P. J., Glennon, Dore, Cohn and Shientag, JJ., concur.

Bespondent censured.
