MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Per Curiam.

Naeha Dixit was admitted to practice by this Court in 2011 and lists a business address in Chicago, Illinois with the Office of Court Administration. Dixit 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 Dixit's application.

Upon reading Dixit's affidavit sworn to May 10, 2019 and filed May 13, 2019, and upon reading the June 11, 2019 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Dixit is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

Garry, P.J., Lynch, Clark, Aarons and Rumsey, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Naeha Dixit's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Naeha Dixit's name is hereby stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law of the State of New York, effective immediately, and until further order of this Court (see generally Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further
