MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Per Curiam.
Arthur Boggess Culvahouse Jr. was admitted to practice by this Court in 2006 and lists a business address in Washington, DC with the Office of Court Administration. Culvahouse 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 defers to this Court's discretion on Culvahouse's application.
Upon reading Culvahouse's affidavit sworn to February 15, 2019 and filed February 19, 2019, and upon reading the April 3, 2019 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Culvahouse is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Lynch, J.P., Clark, Devine, Rumsey and Pritzker, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Arthur Boggess Culvahouse Jr.'s application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Arthur Boggess Culvahouse Jr.'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
ORDERED that Arthur Boggess Culvahouse Jr. 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 Culvahouse is hereby forbidden to appear as an attorney or [*2]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 himself out in any way as an attorney and counselor-at-law in this State; and it is further
