OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam. Selig Rosenzweig has submitted an affidavit, dated October 7, 1991, wherein he tenders his resignation as an attorney and counselor-at-law (22 NYCRR 691.9). Mr. Rosenzweig was admitted to the practice of law by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, First Judicial Department, on March 31, 1969.
Mr. Rosenzweig acknowledges that he is the subject of an investigation by the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judi*306cial District concerning allegations of professional misconduct concerning the mishandling of escrow moneys. He acknowledges that he converted to his own use and benefit the sums of $9,000 and $95,000, with which he was entrusted in two separate real estate transactions.
Mr. Rosenzweig indicates that his resignation is freely and voluntarily tendered, that he is not being subject to coercion or duress, that he is fully aware of the implications of submitting his resignation, and that he could not successfully defend himself on the merits against disciplinary charges based upon the aforementioned allegations.
Mr. Rosenzweig further acknowledges that he could be required, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a), to make monetary restitution to any person whose money or property has been misapplied, in the event any funds subsequently should be found not accounted for. He specifically waives the opportunity to be heard in opposition to any order of restitution.
Under the circumstances herein, the resignation of Selig Rosenzweig as a member of the Bar is accepted and directed to be filed. Accordingly, Selig Rosenzweig is disbarred and his name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law, effective immediately.
