Calendar Date:June 21, 2022
Before:Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Ceresia, Fisher and McShan, JJ.

Marc Joseph Gorayeb, Hampton, New Hampshire, pro se.

Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany, for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.

Marc Joseph Gorayeb was admitted to practice by this Court in 2006 and lists a business address in Hampton, New Hampshire with the Office of Court Administration. Gorayeb 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 Gorayeb's application.

Upon reading Gorayeb's affidavit sworn to May 3, 2022 and filed May 5, 2022, and upon reading the June 15, 2022 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Gorayeb is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Ceresia, Fisher and McShan, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Marc Joseph Gorayeb's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
