[*1]In the Matter of Thomas Oliver McGimpsey, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 5260740.)

Calendar Date:February 23, 2026
Before:Aarons, J.P., Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald, Fisher and Mackey, JJ.

Thomas Oliver McGimpsey, Louisville, Colorado, 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.

Thomas Oliver McGimpsey was admitted to practice by this Court in 2014 and lists a business address in Lake Mary, Florida with the Office of Court Administration. McGimpsey 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 McGimpsey's application.

Upon reading McGimpsey's affidavit sworn to January 6, 2026 and filed January 12, 2026, and upon reading the February 17, 2026 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that McGimpsey is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Aarons, J.P., Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald, Fisher and Mackey, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Thomas Oliver McGimpsey's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Thomas Oliver McGimpsey'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 Thomas Oliver McGimpsey 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 McGimpsey 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 Thomas Oliver McGimpsey shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
