Jonathan Myal Pope, Dallas, Texas, 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.
Jonathan Myal Pope was admitted to practice by this Court in 2013 and lists a business address in Farmers Branch, Texas with the Office of Court Administration. Pope 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 Pope's application.
Upon reading Pope's affidavit sworn to June 26, 2023 and filed July 3, 2023, and upon reading the September 6, 2023 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Pope is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Clark, Pritzker, Reynolds Fitzgerald and McShan, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Jonathan Myal Pope's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Jonathan Myal Pope'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 Jonathan Myal Pope 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 Pope 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 Jonathan Myal Pope shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
