    In the Matter of Leonard Nikoloric, an Attorney, Respondent. Association of the Bar of the City of New York, Petitioner.
    First Department,
    September 27, 1977
    
      
      James D. Porter, Jr., of counsel (Michael Alan Schwartz with him on the petition), for petitioner.
    No appearance on behalf of respondent.
   Per Curiam.

The respondent, Leonard Nikoloric, was admitted to practice as an attorney in New York State on June 27, 1947 in the First Department. He was convicted after a trial in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida of, inter alia, the felony of transportation of stolen securities valued in excess of $5,000 (US Code, tit 18, § 2314), which crime would also constitute a felony under New York State law (Penal Law, § 165.50).

Under the circumstances, the present application to strike respondent’s name from the roll of attorneys should be granted (Judiciary Law, § 90, subd 4).

Murphy, P. J., Kupferman, Evans, Lane and Markewich, JJ., concur.

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