OPINION OF THE COURT

Per Curiam.

Respondent Allan A. Jacobs was admitted to the practice of [37]*37law as Allan Arnold Jacobs in the State of New York by the Second Judicial Department on March 14, 1979, and at all times relevant herein has maintained an office for the practice of law within the First Judicial Department.

Accordingly, the motion by the Departmental Disciplinary Committee that we accept respondent’s resignation should be granted.
