PER CURIAM.
Susan M. Kalp was admitted to practice by this Court in 2011 and lists a business address in Franklin, Tennessee with the Office of Court Administration. Kalp 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 Kalp's application.
Upon reading Kalp's affidavit sworn to August 31, 2021 and filed October 14, 2021, and upon reading the November 22, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Kalp is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Lynch, J.P., Clark, Aarons, Pritzker and Reynolds Fitzgerald, JJ., concur.
