RE:
Honorable Justices: During an argument of an appeal on December 12, 2011, I reacted to what I believed to be a needlessly personalized line of argument by an adversary with non-verbal conduct. This response was inappropriate and below the standard that any attorney should meet. I have practiced before the Appellate Term for twenty five years. I have always held the court, its justices and its non-judicial personnel in the highest esteem. The conduct on December 12 was disrespectful and below any proper standard. I apologize for the disrespectful Thank you for your consideration. conduct.
