Per Curiam.
Christophe de Kalbermatten was admitted to practice by this
Court in 1996 and lists a business address in Geneva, Switzerland
with the Office of Court Administration. de Kalbermatten now
seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary
reasons (see Uniform Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22

application.
Upon reading the application of de Kalbermatten sworn to
August 19, 2016, and upon reading the correspondence in response
by the Chief Attorney for the Attorney Grievance Committee for
the Third Judicial Department, and having determined that de
Kalbermatten is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons,
we grant his application and accept his resignation.
