MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Renan Bayati was admitted to practice by this Court in 2009 and lists a business address in Laguna Beach, California with the Office of Court Administration. Bayati now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Uniform Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]).

Upon reading the affidavit of Bayati sworn to January 6, 2017, 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 Bayati is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

McCarthy, J.P., Egan Jr., Lynch, Rose and Devine, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Renan Bayati'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 Uniform Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further
