MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Mary Margaret Cobb was admitted to practice by this Court in 2014 and lists a business address in Washington, DC with the Office of Court Administration. Cobb 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 Cobb sworn to January 9, 2017 and filed with this Court on May 15, 2017, and upon reading the June 19, 2017 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Cobb is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

Peters, P.J., McCarthy, Garry, Lynch and Rose, JJ., concur.
