PER CURIAM.
Victoria Chamberlain LaBate was admitted to practice by this Court in 2018 and lists a business address in Braintree, Massachusetts with the Office of Court Administration. LaBate 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 LaBate's application.
Upon reading LaBate's affidavit sworn to May 4, 2022 and filed May 31, 2022, and upon reading the June 21, 2022 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that LaBate is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
Garry, P.J., Lynch, Clark, Aarons and Ceresia, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Victoria Chamberlain LaBate's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
