Chief Judge WACHTLER and Judges MEYER, SIMONS, KAYE, ALEXANDER and HANCOCK, JR., concur in Per Curiam opinion; Judge TITONE taking no part.

Per Curiam.

These appeals put before us the question whether the Appellate Division can suspend attorneys pending consideration of disciplinary charges against them, where the suspensions are on notice and the orders are based on the attorneys' admissions or other uncontroverted evidence of misconduct immediately threatening the public interest. We conclude that the Appellate Division has that power.
