Per Curiam.
Brienne Elizabeth Henderson was admitted to practice by this Court in 2011. Henderson 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 Henderson's application.
Upon reading Henderson's affidavit sworn to March 19, 2021 and filed March 23, 2021, and upon reading the May 10, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Henderson is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
