By opinion and order of this Court dated May 19, 2003, the respondent was disbarred based on his conviction of a felony and his name was struck from the roll of attorneys and counselor-at-law, effective immediately.

Upon the papers filed in support of the motion and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is
