[*1]In the Matter of Joshua Jones Moore, an Attorney. (Attorney Registration No. 4437117.)

Calendar Date: March 1, 2021
Before: Garry, P.J., Lynch, Clark, Aarons and Colangelo, JJ.

Joshua Jones Moore, St. Clair, Michigan, pro se.

Monica A. Duffy, Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, Albany, for Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department.

Per Curiam.

Joshua Jones Moore was admitted to practice by this Court in 2006 and lists a business address in Livonia, Michigan with the Office of Court Administration. Moore now seeks leave to resign from the New York bar for nondisciplinary 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 Moore's application.

Upon reading Moore's affidavit sworn to December 8, 2020 and filed January 22, 2021, and upon reading the February 18, 2021 correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Moore is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.

Garry, P.J., Lynch, Clark, Aarons and Colangelo, JJ., concur.

ORDERED that Joshua Jones Moore's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further

ORDERED that Joshua Jones Moore'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 Attorney Disciplinary Matters [22 NYCRR] § 1240.22 [b]); and it is further

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