IN RE: RAYMOND CHARLES RUBINO (2026)

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON MOTION

(Attorney Registration No. 2923233)

Calendar Date:  April 6, 2026

Raymond Charles Rubino was admitted to practice by this Court in 1998 and lists a business address in Florham Park, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration.  Rubino now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22[a] ).  The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) opposes the application by correspondence from its Deputy Chief Attorney.

As is noted by AGC, Rubino is presently delinquent in his New York attorney registration requirements, having failed to register for one biennial period beginning in 2024 (see Judiciary Law § 468–a;  Rules of Chief Admr of Cts [22 NYCRR] § 118.1).  Inasmuch as Rubino is therefore subject to potential disciplinary action (see Judiciary Law § 468–a [5];  Rules of Prof Conduct [22 NYCRR 1200.0] rule 8.4[d];  see also Matter of Attorneys in Violation of Judiciary Law § 468–a, 113 AD3d 1020, 1021 [3d Dept 2014] ), he is ineligible for nondisciplinary resignation and his application must be denied (see Matter of Cluff, 148 AD3d 1346, 1346 [3d Dept 2017];  Matter of Bomba, 146 AD3d 1226, 1226–1227 [3d Dept 2017] ).  Further, any future application by Rubino must be supported by proof of his full satisfaction of the requirements of Judiciary Law § 468–a and Rules of the Chief Administrator of the Courts (22 NYCRR) § 118.1 (see Matter of Frank, 146 AD3d 1228, 1228–1229 [3d Dept 2017] ).

Garry, P.J., Reynolds Fitzgerald, Ceresia, Powers and Mackey, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Raymond Charles Rubino's application for permission to resign is denied.
