[*1]In the Matter of Peter Richard Jarvis, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 4740973.)

Calendar Date:July 22, 2024
Before:Egan Jr., J.P., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ.

Peter Richard Jarvis, Portland, Oregon, pro se.

Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany (Alison M. Coan of counsel), for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.

Peter Richard Jarvis was admitted to practice by this Court in 2009 and lists an address in Portland, Oregon with the Office of Court Administration. Jarvis now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary reasons (see Rules for Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [a]). The Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Jarvis's application.

Upon reading Jarvis's affidavit sworn to May 30, 2024 and filed June 3, 2024, and upon reading the July 18, 2024 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Jarvis is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Egan Jr., J.P., Clark, Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Peter Richard Jarvis's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Peter Richard Jarvis'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 Atty Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further

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