Summary

This document is a Westlaw printout of a 2010 New York Supreme Court Appellate Division decision (Matter of Catherine M. Conrad). It details the disciplinary proceedings against attorney Catherine M. Conrad, ruling that her immediate reinstatement to the bar was not warranted due to alcohol dependence and a failure to cooperate with previous investigations. The document appears to be an exhibit (A-5840) filed in a later case (Case 1:20-cv-00888), likely as legal precedent or evidence regarding attorney conduct.
