Per Curiam.

By correspondence dated August 2, 2017, the Attorney Grievance Committee for the Third Judicial Department (hereinafter AGC) advises that it does not oppose Wachter’s application.

Upon reading the affidavit of Wachter, and upon reading the correspondence in response by the Chief Attorney for AGC, and having determined that Wachter is eligible to resign for nondisciplinary reasons, we grant his application and accept his resignation.
