The Disciplinary Review Board having filed with the Court its report on the record certified to the Board as a default pursuant to Rule l:20-4(f)(l), recommending that CHARMAN T. HARVEY of EAST ORANGE, who was admitted to the bar of this State in 1986 and who was suspended from practice for a period of one year by Order dated April 26,1995, and who remains suspended at this time, be disbarred for the knowing misappropriation of funds from several clients over a period of ten months and for engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation, in violation of RPC 1.15 and RPC 8.4(e);

And respondent having been ordered to show cause why she should not be disbarred or otherwise disciplined;

And good cause appearing;

It is ORDERED that CHARMAN T. HARVEY be disbarred, effective immediately, and that her name be stricken from the roll of attorneys; and it is further

ORDERED that the entire record of this matter be made a permanent part of respondent’s file as an attorney at law of this State; and it is further
