   Per Curiam.

Respondent was admitted to the Bar in the First Department on March 22, 1954.

He was convicted in the Supreme Court, Bronx County, of the crime of attempted bribe receiving, following his plea of guilty. Such crime is a felony (Penal Law, §§ 200.10, 110.05, subd. 4).

The petition should be granted and respondent’s name stricken from the roll of attorneys.

McGivern, P. J., Nunez, Kupferman, Murphy and Lupiano, JJ., concur.

Respondent’s name struck from the roll of attorneys and counselors at law in the State of New York.
