IN RE: Jeffrey Paul SEGAL (2002)

On May 6, 2002, the respondent entered a plea of guilty before the Honorable Joseph Calabrese of the County Court, Nassau County, to grand larceny in the second degree, a class C felony, in violation of Penal Law § 155.40, and grand larceny in the third degree, a class D felony, in violation of Penal Law § 155.35.

ORDERED that pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90, effective immediately, the respondent, Jeffrey Paul Segal, is disbarred and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law;  and it is further,

ORDERED that the respondent shall comply with this court's rules governing the conduct of disbarred, suspended, and resigned attorneys (see 22 NYCRR 691.10);  and it is further,
