Michael James Neary was admitted to practice by this Court in 2010 and lists a business address in Gwynn Oak, Maryland with the Office of Court Administration. Neary 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 advises that it does not oppose Neary’s application.

Upon reading the affidavit of Neary sworn to November 4, 2016, and upon reading the correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for the Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department, and having determined that Neary is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
