PER CURIAM.
Matthew David Lamb was admitted to practice by this Court in 2012 and lists a business address in Richmond, Virginia with the Office of Court Administration. Lamb now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]).

Upon reading Lamb's affidavit sworn to June 22, 2022 and filed June 28, 2022, and upon reading the August 3, 2022 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Lamb is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Pritzker, Ceresia and Fisher, JJ., concur.
