Lynne Stewart, a civil rights lawyer convicted in 2005 of helping an imprisoned terrorist sheik communicate with his disciples, was disbarred Tuesday, and her request to resign denied by the New York Supreme Court's Appellate Division. The panel said Stewart became subject to losing her law license immediately upon being convicted of a felony. Her request to resign was in a letter dated Nov. 14, 2006, after she was convicted, and therefore could not be accepted, the court said.
