A. Patrick Nucciarone, Allenwood, New Jersey, 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.

A. Patrick Nucciarone was admitted to practice by this Court in 1981 and lists a business address in Wall, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Nucciarone 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 Nucciarone's application.

Upon reading Nucciarone's affidavit sworn to September 8, 2022 and filed September 15, 2022, and upon reading the October 26, 2022 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Nucciarone is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, P.J., Clark, Ceresia, Fisher and McShan, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that A. Patrick Nucciarone's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that A. Patrick Nucciarone'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

ORDERED that A. Patrick Nucciarone is commanded to desist and refrain from the practice of law in any form in the State of New York, either as principal or as agent, clerk or employee of another; and Nucciarone is hereby forbidden to appear as an attorney or counselor-at-law before any court, judge, justice, board, commission or other public authority, or to give to another an opinion as to the law or its application, or any advice in relation thereto, or to hold himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further
