Sean Richard Delaney, Baltimore, Maryland, pro se.

Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany (Alison M Coan of counsel), for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.

Sean Richard Delaney was admitted to practice by this Court in 2009 and lists a business address in Baltimore, Maryland with the Office of Court Administration. Delaney now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Delaney's application.

Upon reading Delaney's affidavit sworn to November 29, 2023 and filed December 6, 2023 and upon reading the December 15, 2023 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Delaney is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, P.J., Clark, Reynolds Fitzgerald, Fisher and McShan, JJ., concur.
