The Court of Appeals Thursday declined to hear an appeal of a unanimous Appellate Division, Second Department, ruling disbarring Long Island attorney Ruth Pollack after her criminal contempt conviction for ignoring court orders in a federal employment case and other misconduct (NYLJ, Aug. 15).
The court said in Matter of Pollack, 2013-1022, that it would not hear the appeal because “no substantial constitutional question is directly involved.” Judges Victoria Graffeo (See Profile), Susan Phillips Read (See Profile), Robert Smith (See Profile), Eugene Pigott Jr. (See Profile) and Jenny Rivera (See Profile) agreed on the unsigned motion. Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman (See Profile) and Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam (See Profile) took no part.
