(315) 796-4000 leonkozioljd@gmail.com August 25, 2011 Vincent E. Doyle III President New York State Bar Association One Elk Street Albany, NY 12207 Dear Mr. Doyle: Enclosed you find copy of a Petition for Writ of Certiorari docketed by the United States Supreme Court on August 15, 2011. The petition seeks relief which is in line with the Associations longstanding position that lawyers subjected to disciplinary charges should not be prosecuted on substandard levels of proof, among other due process violations. As an ethics lawyer, you know that New York is one of the minority states that allows convictions on quasicriminal charges through a preponderance standard. I am sure you will find my petition a fascinating read. More importantly, you may find it sufficiently unique and compelling to warrant the Associations involvement. I look forward to hearing from you either way. Very truly yours,

Leon R. Koziol
