Matter of Lovett, 143 S.Ct. 69 (decided August 22, 2022): Jonathan Lovett of Somers, N.Y. (not far from where I am) suspended (and later disbarred); he did not oppose the notice of disbarment, nor did he oppose the disbarment proceedings in state court or even cooperate with the investigation (194 A.D.3d 39); however he is still listed on Yelp in case you’re thinking of hiring him (he had a well-documented career as a civil rights attorney)
