[*1]In the Matter of Sarah W. Gregory, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 2636678.)

Calendar Date:April 4, 2022
Before:Garry, P.J., Colangelo, Ceresia, Fisher and McShan, JJ.

Sarah W. Gregory, Cranford, 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.

Sarah W. Gregory was admitted to practice by this Court in 1994 and lists a business address in Cranford, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Gregory 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 Gregory's application.

Upon reading Gregory's affidavit sworn to March 7, 2022 and filed March 11, 2022, and upon reading the March 23, 2022 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Gregory is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.

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

ORDERED that Sarah W. Gregory's application for permission to resign is granted and her nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Sarah W. Gregory'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

Gregory 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 Gregory 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 herself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further
