MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Ryan John Long was admitted to practice by this Court in 2011 and lists a business address in Minneapolis, Minnesota with the Office of Court Administration. Long now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]).

Upon reading Long's affidavit sworn to November 17, 2017 and filed December 13, 2017, and upon reading the January 30, 2018 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Long is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Lynch, J.P., Devine, Clark, Aarons and Pritzker, JJ., concur.
