MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Edwin Samuel Deberdt was admitted to practice by this Court in 2012 and lists a business address in Paris, France with the Office of Court Administration. Deberdt 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 Deberdt's application by correspondence dated April 4, 2018.
Upon reading Deberdt's affidavit sworn to March 2, 2018 and filed March 14, 2018, and upon reading the correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Deberdt is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
