Per Curiam.
Adam Michael Johnson was admitted to practice by this Court in 2015 and lists a business address in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho with the Office of Court Administration. Johnson 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 Johnson's application.
Upon reading Johnson's affidavit sworn to November 25, 2024 and filed December 2, 2024, and upon reading the January 22, 2025 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Johnson is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Egan Jr., J.P., Aarons, Pritzker, Fisher and Mackey, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Adam Michael Johnson's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Adam Michael Johnson'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 Adam Michael Johnson 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 Johnson 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 Adam Michael Johnson shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
