20,229 registrations (5.3% of living registrants) read “Suspended, delinquent” on the register file of Sep 29, 2026. It means the attorney is recorded as suspended from practice, with the registration also delinquent. The register does not give the reason or date of a suspension; the Appellate Division’s order does.

What “Suspended, delinquent” means

The lawyer is suspended from practice: while the suspension lasts they may not practise law in New York, whatever the reason. The register also shows the registration as delinquent. It does not say why the Appellate Division suspended the lawyer, but a failure to register “shall result in referral for disciplinary action” (22 NYCRR 118.1(h)), and most of these records arrive straight from “Delinquent”: of the 1,220 that took this value since the Aug 6, 2026 file, 1,146 came from “Delinquent”.
