Before: Garry, P.J., Clark, Aarons, Pritzker and Reynolds Fitzgerald, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Caroline Emille De Luca was admitted to practice by this Court in 2015 and lists a business address in Natick, Massachusetts with the Office of Court Administration. De Luca now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose De Luca's application.
Upon reading De Luca's affidavit sworn to April 27, 2021 and filed May 3, 2021, and upon reading the May 25, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that De Luca is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
