Before Judge Brann in the Boockvar case, respondent himself stated: “I don’t
know what’s more serious than being denied your right to vote in a democracy.” We
agree. It is the very reason why espousing false factual information to large segments of
the public as a means of discrediting the rights of legitimate voters is so immediately
harmful to it and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law.
Accordingly, the AGC’s motion should be granted and respondent is suspended
from the practice of law in the State of New York, effective immediately, and until
further order of this Court.
All concur.
It is Ordered that the motion is granted and respondent is suspended from the
practice of law in the State of New York pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(2) and 22
NYCRR 1240.9(a) (5), effective the date hereof, until such time as disciplinary matters
pending before the Committee have been concluded, and until further order of this
Court, and
It is further Ordered that respondent is commanded to desist and refrain from
the practice of law in any form, either as principal or agent, clerk or employee of
another; that respondent is forbidden to appear as an attorney or counselor-at-law
before any court, judge, justice, board or commission or other public authority; that
respondent is forbidden to give another an opinion as to the law or its application or
advice in relation thereto, all effective the date hereof, until such time as disciplinary
matters pending before the Committee have been concluded and until further order of
this Court, and
