In the Matter of Robert R. KAUFMAN, an Attorney, Appellant, v. The ASSOCIATION OF the BAR OF the CITY OF NEW YORK, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of New York.

Jan. 12, 1967.

Appeal from Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.

The Appellate Division, 25 A.D.2d 48, 266 N.Y.S.2d 958, entered an order on February 3, 1966 disbarring the attorney, and entered an order June 16, 1966 denying a motion by attorney for rehearing, new trial, reconsideration or reargument with respect to charges on basis of which he was disbarred, and order of July 7, 1966 denying a motion by the attorney for a stay of the order of disbarment and for an amendment thereof to recite that constitutional questions were passed on by the Appellate Division.

Appeal taken to the Court of Appeals on alleged constitutional grounds from the orders of February 3, 1966, June 16, 1966, and July 7, 1966 was dismissed by the Court of Appeals on December 30, 1966.

The Appellate Division entered an order on November 22, 1966 which denied a motion by the attorney for reargument with respect to the order of February 3, 1966, the order of June 16, 1966, and the order of July 7, 1966.

The attorney appealed to the Court of Appeals, and motion was made in the Court of Appeals to dismiss the appeal.

Motion granted and the appeal dismissed upon the ground that the order appealed from does not finally determine the proceeding within the meaning of the Constitution.
