      Bruce A. Glubin, resignor pro se.
    
    
      Frank A. Finnerty, Jr. (Robert P. Guido of counsel), for Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District.
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

Bruce A. Glubin has submitted an affidavit, dated January 2, 1992, wherein he tenders his resignation as an attorney and counselor-at-law (22 NYCRR 691.9). Mr. Glubin was admitted to the practice of law by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Second Judicial Department, on May 7, 1975, under the name Bruce Allan Glubin.

Mr. Glubin acknowledges that he is the subject of an investigation by the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District concerning allegations that he misappropriated escrow funds. Mr. Glubin further acknowledges that his resignation is submitted subject to any application by the Grievance Committee for an order directing restitution and reimbursement to the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a). He recognizes the continuing jurisdiction of this court to make such an order. The Grievance Committee is unaware of any pending claims against Mr. Glubin at this time.

Mr. Glubin indicates that his resignation is freely and voluntarily tendered, that he is not being subject to coercion or duress, and that he is fully aware of the implications of submitting his resignation. He acknowledges that he could not successfully defend himself on the merits against disciplinary charges based upon the allegations against him.

Counsel for the Grievance Committee recommends that the court accept the resignation. Under the circumstances herein, the resignation of Bruce A. Glubin as a member of the Bar is accepted and directed to be filed. Accordingly, Bruce A. Glubin is disbarred and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, effective immediately.
