*30OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam. In 2011, the Connecticut Office of Disciplinary Counsel filed a “Presentment of Attorney” (hereinafter the presentment) with the Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of Stamford/ Norwalk. The presentment indicated that the Grievance Panel for the Judicial District of Stamford/N orwalk had determined that there was probable cause to believe that the respondent had violated rule 1.15 (a) of the Connecticut Rules of Professional Conduct by, inter alia, causing an overdraft in his attorney trust account. In addition, the presentment noted that the respondent had an extensive prior disciplinary history.
The respondent opted to resign from the Connecticut state bar rather than litigate the disciplinary proceeding brought against him. In submitting his resignation, the respondent waived the privilege of applying for readmission to the bar for 10 years. By order dated November 15, 2011, the Superior Court, Judicial District of Stamford/N orwalk, accepted the resignation and waiver, effective December 16, 2011.
Although the Grievance Committee for the Second, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Judicial Districts served the respondent with a notice pursuant to 22 NYCRR 691.3, he has failed to assert any defenses or demand a hearing. Accordingly, there is no impediment to the imposition of reciprocal discipline.
Under the circumstances presented, the application to impose reciprocal discipline is granted, and, effective immediately, the respondent is disbarred in New York and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law in this state.
Mastro, J.P., Rivera, Dillon, Angiolillo and Balkin, JJ., concur.
