MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

John Joseph Scura was admitted to practice by this Court in 1990 and lists a business address in Wayne, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Scura 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]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department advises that it does not oppose Scura's application.

Upon reading the affidavit of Scura sworn to November 28, 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 Scura is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, J.P., Lynch, Rose, Devine and Mulvey, JJ., concur.
