MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

David Joel Berg was admitted to practice by this Court in 2002 and lists a business address in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with the Office of Court Administration. Berg 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]).
