MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Per Curiam.

Nicholas John Sciretta was admitted to practice by this Court in 2014 and lists a business address in Washington, DC with the Office of Court Administration. Sciretta now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Sciretta's application.

Upon reading Sciretta's affidavit sworn to September 18, 2018 and filed September 21, 2018, and upon reading the October 10, 2018 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Sciretta is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, P.J., Mulvey, Aarons, Rumsey and Pritzker, JJ., concur.
