OPINION OF THE COURT
Per Curiam.*154Grace E Thompson has submitted an affidavit dated June 28, 2005, wherein she tenders her resignation as an attorney and counselor-at-law (22 NYCRR 691.9). Ms. Thompson was admitted to the bar at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Judicial Department on January 29, 1992, under the name Grace Patricia Thompson.
Ms. Thompson concedes that the Grievance Committee is currently investigating complaints of professional misconduct against her involving allegations of neglect. She acknowledges her inability to successfully defend herself against any charges of misconduct predicated upon the misconduct under investigation.
Ms. Thompson avers that she is not being subject to coercion or duress, that her resignation is freely and voluntarily tendered, and that she is fully aware of the implications of submitting a resignation, including being barred by Judiciary Law § 90 and the Court rules from seeking reinstatement for at least seven years.
Ms. Thompson submits her resignation subject to any application which could be made by the Grievance Committee for an order directing that she make restitution and that she reimburse the New York State Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection, pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a). She acknowledges the continuing jurisdiction of the Court to make such an order. Ms. Thompson is aware that any order issued pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a) could be entered as a civil judgment against her. She specifically waives the opportunity afforded her by Judiciary Law § 90 (6-a) (f) to be heard in opposition thereto.
Inasmuch as the preferred resignation complies with all pertinent Court rules, it is accepted, and effective immediately, Grace E Thompson is disbarred and her name is stricken from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law.
