MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Jennifer Nicole Burke was admitted to practice by this Court in 2011 and lists a business address in Ann Arbor, Michigan with the Office of Court Administration. Burke now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Uniform 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 Burke's application.
Upon reading the affidavit of Burke sworn to January 30, 2017 and filed February 6, 2017, and upon reading the May 12, 2017 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Burke is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant her application and accept her resignation.
McCarthy, J.P., Egan Jr., Clark, Mulvey and Aarons, JJ., concur.
