MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Per Curiam.

Rene A. Foglia was admitted to practice by this Court in 1985 and lists a business address in Lake Buena Vista, Florida with the Office of Court Administration. Foglia 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 Foglia's application.

Upon reading Foglia's affidavit sworn to April 24, 2019 and filed June 11, 2019, and upon reading the July 23, 2019 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Foglia is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

Lynch, J.P., Clark, Devine, Rumsey and Pritzker, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Rene A. Foglia's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
