MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Robert J. Coan was admitted to practice by this Court in 1959 and lists a business address in the Town of Niskayuna, Schenectady County with the Office of Court Administration. Coan 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 Coan sworn to November 19, 2016, 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 Coan is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Egan Jr., J.P., Lynch, Rose, Clark and Aarons, JJ., concur.
