MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Christopher Sean Mahoney was admitted to practice by this Court in 2009 and lists a business address in Newtown, Pennsylvania with the Office of Court Administration. Mahoney 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 Mahoney's application by correspondence dated September 6, 2017.
Upon reading Mahoney's affidavit sworn to August 4, 2017 and filed August 7, 2017, and upon reading the correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Mahoney is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Lynch, J.P., Rose, Aarons, Rumsey and Pritzker, JJ., concur.
