Per Curiam.

On April 28, 1999, the respondent was sentenced in the County Court, Westchester County, before the Honorable Peter M. Leavitt, to two concurrent terms of four days’ incarceration to be served on two weekends, and five years’ probation based on her pleas of guilty under Indictment No. 1515-98 and S.C.I. No. 01455-99 to two counts (one count under each accusatory instrument) of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, as a felony, in violation of Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1192 (3).

Pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (4), the respondent ceased to be an attorney and counselor-at-law upon her conviction of a felony.
