[*1]In the Matter of Thomas Alexander Wilson, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 5638184.)

Calendar Date: December 28, 2020
Before: Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch, Clark and Aarons, JJ.

Thomas Alexander Wilson, Chicago, Illinois, 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.

Thomas Alexander Wilson was admitted to practice by this Court in 2018 and lists a business address in Chicago, Illinois with the Office of Court Administration. Wilson 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 Wilson's application.

Upon reading Wilson's affidavit sworn to October 13, 2020 and filed October 19, 2020, and upon reading the December 8, 2020 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Wilson is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Lynch, Clark and Aarons, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Thomas Alexander Wilson's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Thomas Alexander Wilson'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 Thomas Alexander Wilson 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 Wilson 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 Thomas Alexander Wilson shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
