Per Curiam.
Michael Andrew Sjuggerud was admitted to practice by this Court in 2009 and lists a business address in Orlando, Florida with the Office of Court Administration. Sjuggerud 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 Sjuggerud's application.
Upon reading Sjuggerud's affidavit sworn to April 2, 2025 and filed April 7, 2025, and upon reading the May 14, 2025 correspondence in response by the Deputy Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Sjuggerud is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
Garry, P.J., Egan Jr., Aarons, Reynolds Fitzgerald and Mackey, JJ., concur.
ORDERED that Michael Andrew Sjuggerud's application for permission to resign is granted and his nondisciplinary resignation is accepted; and it is further
ORDERED that Michael Andrew Sjuggerud'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 Michael Andrew Sjuggerud 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 Sjuggerud 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
