MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Daniel Michael Rosales was admitted to practice by this Court in 2016 and lists a business address in Denver, Colorado with the Office of Court Administration. Rosales 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 Rosales's application.
Upon reading Rosales's affidavit sworn to November 17, 2017 and filed November 20, 2017, and upon reading the December 6, 2017 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Rosales is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
McCarthy, J.P., Egan Jr., Lynch, Devine and Clark, JJ., concur.
