Opinion

Per Curiam.

Ezra Saul Greenberg was admitted to practice by this Court in 2009 and lists a business address in Miami, Florida with the Office of Court Administration. Greenberg now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisci plinary 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 Greenberg’s application.

Upon reading the affidavit of Greenberg sworn to March 22, 2017 and filed March 27, 2017, and upon reading the May 12, 2017 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Greenberg is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, J.R, Egan Jr., Lynch, Rose and Devine, JJ., concur.
