IN RE: Daniel L. BOLDI (2025)

OPINION & ORDER

On October 17, 2024, the respondent pleaded guilty before the Honorable Caryn R. Fink of the County Court, Nassau County, to:  (1) thirteen counts of grand larceny in the second degree, a class C felony, in violation of Penal Law § 155.40(1), and (2) one count of scheme to defraud in the first degree, a class E felony, in violation of Penal Law § 190.65(1)(b).

The Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District now moves to strike the respondent's name from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(b), based upon his felony convictions.  Although the respondent was duly served, he has neither opposed the motion nor interposed any response thereto.

By separate motions, the Grievance Committee moves, inter alia, (1) to deem the charges against the respondent in a petition dated May 21, 2024, established and to impose discipline upon the respondent pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1240.8(a)(6), and (2) to immediately suspend the respondent from the practice of law pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 and 22 NYCRR 1240.9(a)(2), (3), (4), and (5).

Pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(a), the respondent was automatically disbarred and ceased to be an attorney upon his conviction of a felony.

Accordingly, the motion to strike the respondent's name from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(b), is granted to reflect the respondent's automatic disbarment as of October 17, 2024.  The Grievance Committee's separate motions are denied as academic.

ORDERED that the Grievance Committee's motion to strike the name of the respondent, Daniel L. Boldi, admitted as Daniel Louis Boldi, from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(b), is granted, and the Grievance Committee's separate motions, inter alia, to deem the charges against the respondent in a petition dated May 21, 2024, established and to immediately suspend the respondent from the practice of law are denied as academic;  and it is further,

ORDERED that pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(a), the respondent, Daniel L. Boldi, admitted as Daniel Louis Boldi, is disbarred, effective October 17, 2024, and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90(4)(b);  and it is further,

ORDERED that the respondent, Daniel L. Boldi, admitted as Daniel Louis Boldi, shall comply with the rules governing the conduct of disbarred or suspended attorneys (see 22 NYCRR 1240.15);  and it is further,

ORDERED that pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90, the respondent, Daniel L. Boldi, admitted as Daniel Louis Boldi, is commanded to desist and refrain from (1) practicing law in any form, either as principal or as agent, clerk, or employee of another, (2) appearing as an attorney or counselor-at-law before any court, Judge, Justice, board, commission, or other public authority, (3) giving to another an opinion as to the law or its application or any advice in relation thereto, and (4) holding himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law;  and it is further,

ORDERED that if the respondent, Daniel L. Boldi, admitted as Daniel Louis Boldi, has been issued a secure pass by the Office of Court Administration, it shall be returned forthwith to the issuing agency, and the respondent shall certify to the same in his affidavit of compliance pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1240.15(f).
