MATTER OF GORDON

48 N.Y.2d 266 (1979)

In the Matter of Harry G. Gordon for Admission to the Bar, Appellant. Committee on Character and Fitness, Respondent.

Court of Appeals of the State of New York.

Decided November 13, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John Cary Sims, Alan B. Morrison, of the Bar of the District of Columbia, admitted on motion pro hac vice and Daniel Riesel for appellant.

Robert Abrams, Attorney-General (Daniel M. Cohen of counsel), in his statutory capacity under section 71 of the Executive Law and CPLR 1012 (subd [b]).

Judges JASEN, GABRIELLI, JONES, WACHTLER, FUCHSBERG and MEYER concur.

Chief Judge COOKE.

Appellant, a resident of North Carolina, mounts this challenge to the constitutionality of CPLR 9406 (subd 2). That rule provides that a person may not be admitted as a member of the Bar of this State unless he furnishes proof "that he has been an actual resident of the state of New York for six months immediately preceding the submission of his application for admission to practice".
