    APPEARANCES OF COUNSEL
    
      Diana Maxfield Kearse, Brooklyn (Sharon Gursen Ades of counsel), for petitioner.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

On July 26, 2010, the respondent pleaded guilty before the Honorable David Sullivan, in County Court, Nassau County, to: grand larceny in the first degree, in violation of Penal Law § 155.42, a class B felony; grand larceny in the second degree, in violation of Penal Law § 155.40, a class C felony; and grand larceny in the third degree, in violation of Penal Law § 155.35, a class D felony. The respondent was convicted for her role in a real estate fraud scheme in Nassau County. She has not yet been sentenced.

Although personally served with a copy of this motion, the respondent has neither submitted a response nor requested additional time in which to do so.

By virtue of her felony conviction, the respondent was automatically disbarred and ceased to be an attorney pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (a).

Accordingly, the motion pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4) (b) to strike the respondent’s name from the roll of attorneys is granted to reflect the respondent’s automatic disbarment on July 26, 2010.

Eng, PJ., Mastro, Rivera, Skelos and Balkin, JJ., concur.
