[*1]In the Matter of Daniel M. Cohn, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 4949533.)


Calendar Date: March 8, 2021
Before: Lynch, J.P., Clark, Aarons, Pritzker and Reynolds Fitzgerald, JJ.

Daniel M. Cohn, Cleveland, Ohio, pro se.

Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany, for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.



Per Curiam.

Daniel M. Cohn was admitted to practice by this Court in 2011 and lists a business address in Cleveland, Ohio with the Office of Court Administration. Cohn 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 Cohn's application.

Upon reading Cohn's affidavit sworn to November 12, 2020 and filed January 12, 2021, and upon reading the February 18, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Cohn is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Lynch, J.P., Clark, Aarons, Pritzker and Reynolds Fitzgerald, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Daniel M. Cohn's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Daniel M. Cohn'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 Daniel M. Cohn 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 Cohn is hereby forbidden to appear as an attorney or 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

ORDERED that Daniel M. Cohn shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
