   OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

Lloyd Jonathan Manning has submitted an affidavit dated June 6, 1991, wherein he tenders his resignation as an attorney and counselor-at-law (see, 22 NYCRR 691.9).

The respondent acknowledges in his affidavit that he has been charged with converting a client’s funds to his own use and benefit and failing to comply with the lawful demands of the Grievance Committee.

The respondent acknowledges that he could not successfully defend himself on the merits against the charges initiated against him, that his resignation is freely and voluntarily tendered, that he has not been subjected to coercion or duress, and that he is fully aware of the implications of submitting his resignation.

Under the circumstances, the respondent’s resignation as a member of the Bar is accepted and directed to be filed. Accordingly, the respondent is disbarred and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, effective immediately.
