[*1]In the Matter of Mary L. Maloney, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 2177467)

Calendar Date:August 26, 2024
Before:Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Aarons, Pritzker and McShan, JJ.

Mary L. Maloney, Goldsboro, North Carolina, pro se.

Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany (Alison M. Coan of counsel), for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.

Mary L. Maloney was admitted to practice by this Court in 1988 and lists a business address in Goldsboro, North Carolina with the Office of Court Administration. Maloney now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Maloney's application.

Upon reading Maloney's affidavit sworn to July 3, 2024 and filed July 12, 2024, and upon reading the August 15, 2024 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Maloney is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Aarons, Pritzker and McShan, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Mary L. Maloney's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Mary L. Maloney'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 Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further

ORDERED that Mary L. Maloney 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 Maloney 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 herself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further

ORDERED that Mary L. Maloney shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to her.
