Gerald S. Rotunda, Hackensack, New Jersey, 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.
Gerald S. Rotunda was admitted to practice by this Court in 1990 and lists a business address in Hackensack, New Jersey with the Office of Court Administration. Rotunda 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 Rotunda's application.
Upon reading Rotunda's affidavit sworn to November 7, 2024 and filed November 27, 2024, and upon reading the December 16, 2024 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Rotunda is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Egan Jr., J.P., Clark, Pritzker, Lynch and Ceresia, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Gerald S. Rotunda's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Gerald S. Rotunda'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 Gerald S. Rotunda 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 Rotunda 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 Gerald S. Rotunda shall, within 30 days of the date of this decision, surrender to the Office of Court Administration any Attorney Secure Pass issued to him.
