Decided 1977-12-27

¶1*150OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

¶2The respondent was admitted to practice by the court on June 12, 1929, under the name Reuben V. Posner. In this proceeding to discipline him for professional misconduct, the petitioner moves to confirm the report of the Referee.

¶3The Referee sustained charges that respondent (1) was convicted of offering a false instrument for filing in the second degree, a class A misdemeanor, and that the underlying act involved moral turpitude, and (2) made false statements before a duly constituted Grand Jury.

¶4After reviewing all of the evidence, we are in accord with the findings of the Referee. Accordingly, petitioner’s motion to confirm the Referee’s report is granted.

¶5The respondent is adjudged guilty of serious professional misconduct and should be, and he hereby is, disbarred from further practice of law, and his name is ordered removed from the roll of attorneys and counselors at law, effective forthwith.

¶6Gulotta, P. J., Hopkins, Latham, Cohalan and Shapiro, JJ., concur.
