[*1]In the Matter of Michael Everett Tarvin, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 2076917.)

Calendar Date:March 13, 2023
Before:Lynch, J.P., Clark, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ.

Michael Everett Tarvin, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, pro se.

Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany, for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.

Michael Everett Tarvin was admitted to practice by this Court in 1986 and lists a business address in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania with the Office of Court Administration. Tarvin 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 Tarvin's application.

Upon reading Tarvin's affidavit sworn to January 23, 2023 and filed February 2, 2023, and upon reading the March 6, 2023 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Tarvin is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Lynch, J.P., Clark, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Michael Everett Tarvin's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Michael Everett Tarvin's name is hereby stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law of the State of New York, effective immediately, and until further order of this Court (see generally Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further

ORDERED that Michael Everett Tarvin is commanded to desist and refrain from the practice of law in any form in the State of New York, either as principal or as agent, clerk or employee of another; and Tarvin is hereby forbidden to appear as an attorney or counselor-at-law before any court, judge, justice, board, commission or other public authority, or to give to another an opinion as to the law or its application, or any advice in relation thereto, or to hold himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further

ORDERED that Michael Everett Tarvin shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
