MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON MOTION
Per Curiam.
Joseph Abraham Gorman was admitted to practice by this Court in 2012 and lists a business address in San Francisco, California with the Office of Court Administration. Gorman 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 Gorman's application.
Upon reading Gorman's affidavit sworn to January 18, 2023 and filed January 23, 2023, and upon reading the February 6, 2023 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Gorman is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald, Ceresia and Fisher, JJ., concur.
