Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application of Queens County Bar Association in Respect of Richard F. Adams, an Attorney and Counselor at Law, Respondent.

Opinion:
Respondent's indifference to and neglect of his client's interests after having received a substantial fee and his failure to return the unearned share require that he be suspended from the practice of the law for a period of two years. An appropriate accounting to his client may have an effect upon a motion for reinstatement. The respondent is suspended from the practice of the law for a period of two years. Present— Lazansky, P. J., Carswell, Davis, Johnston and Adel, JJ.
