An attorney who had been subject to a stayed five-year suspension in Pennsylvania for submitting 34 false claims for air travel to his law firm received an identical sanction from the New York Appellate Division for the Third Judicial Department. The court imposed reciprocal discipline, noting that the Pennsylvania disposition had been premised on a finding that the misconduct had been substantially caused by a psychiatric condition for which the attorney is receiving treatment.
